**ADC Blasts APC Over Worsening Poverty in Nigeria** The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has hit back at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for allegedly turning a blind eye to the worsening economic hardship faced by Nigerians, particularly under the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration. According to the ADC, the government is more interested in attacking the opposition rather than addressing the critical issues affecting the lives of millions of citizens. In a statement issued by Bolaji Abdullahi, the party's National Publicity Secretary, the ADC expressed disappointment with the APC's response to its earlier remarks on rising poverty levels in the country. The ADC stated that its earlier claims were based on verifiable data and the everyday experiences of Nigerians, who are struggling to make ends meet. Instead of addressing these concerns, the APC is said to be focusing on dismissing the facts and attacking the opposition. A recent independent report has revealed that Nigeria's poverty rate has skyrocketed to 63 percent, up from 50 percent before the removal of the petrol subsidy. This, according to the ADC, means tens of millions of additional Nigerians have been pushed into poverty since the introduction of the administration's failed economic policies. Notably, a survey conducted by an independent organization showed that 93 percent of Nigerians believe the country is moving in the wrong direction, while 88 percent described the national economy as poor. This is a stark testament to the government's inability to address the pressing issues facing the nation. The ADC has called on the APC to focus on finding solutions to the country's economic woes rather than engaging in petty politicking. Nigerians deserve better, and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that their basic needs are met. In the context of Nigeria's current economic challenges, this debate highlights the need for urgent action to address the poverty crisis. The ADC's stance is a call to the APC to take responsibility for its actions and work towards creating a better future for Nigerians.
