The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the Tinubu government for being out of touch with the realities faced by Nigerians, referencing Bayo Onanuga's statement claiming there is 'no hunger' in the country. This comment comes amid reports of widespread hardship among the populace.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) criticized Bola Tinubu's administration for what it termed "grave insensitivity" following comments made by Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who reportedly stated he does not perceive the hunger and hardship expressed by Nigerians. The ADC urged political figures Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi to remain vigilant in protecting the electoral process.

Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticized President Bola Tinubu's government for comments that he believes minimize the hardships faced by many Nigerians. He argued that suggesting the suffering is exaggerated is disrespectful to millions of citizens experiencing difficulties, according to Naija News.

Senator Nwaebonyi stated that President Tinubu inherited a poor road infrastructure and is actively addressing this issue by reconstructing existing roads and creating new ones to link the six geo-political zones of Nigeria. This effort aims to tackle the country's infrastructure deficit.

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general election, has attributed Nigeria's worsening hunger crisis to leadership failure rather than a food shortage. He criticized the current leadership as incompetent and irresponsible, suggesting that these factors have exacerbated the situation in the country.

Bayo Onanuga, a presidential spokesman, stated that he does not agree with the perception of widespread hunger in Nigeria, claiming that many citizens are benefiting from the policies of President Bola Tinubu's administration. He expressed these views during an interview on Arise Television, where he highlighted various government initiatives that he believes are positively impacting the populace.
