Tinubu <\/a>has failed most,\u201d the ADC said.<\/p>\nThe party said the killings have occurred across all regions and faiths, warning that violence in the country has reached an unprecedented level.<\/p>\n
\u201cEntire communities have been sacked, worshippers have been slaughtered in religious spaces, and bandits now control large territories \u2014 waging war at will and levying taxes on citizens with impunity,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The ADC added that Boko Haram, previously declared \u201ctechnically degraded,\u201d is regaining strength, while new extremist groups have begun claiming responsibility for attacks on Nigerian soil.<\/p>\n
The party accused the president of failing to acknowledge the scale of insecurity or take responsibility for the crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead, Nigerians have been met with excuses, cruel silence, and political posturing that mock the tragedy of victims and their families,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
It also criticized the federal government for neglecting diplomacy and weakening Nigeria\u2019s global standing, noting that the country has failed to appoint ambassadors to key nations more than two years into Tinubu\u2019s term.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy has our foreign policy become so deeply personalized and focused on the image of the president rather than the interests of Nigerians?\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
The ADC said Nigeria\u2019s decline as a regional power was evident in the \u201cfracturing of ECOWAS\u201d and accused the government of being \u201cobsessed with politics, propaganda, and self-celebration\u201d while ignoring the plight of victims.<\/p>\n
The opposition party called for a comprehensive overhaul of the national security structure, the appointment of qualified ambassadors, and a reset of foreign policy rooted in national interest.<\/p>\n
It also urged economic reforms to stabilize prices and ease the suffering of Nigerians.<\/p>\n
While commending global concern over Nigeria\u2019s security situation, the ADC cautioned against foreign military intervention, urging the U.S. and other countries to support democratic solutions instead.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
