National Publicity Secretary of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi said wanton killings and violent attacks in Kwara, Katsina and other states is concrete proof that Nigeria has no government.

Abdullahi stated this in an X post on Saturday.

He alluded to a similar remark made by President Bola Tinubu on X (formerly Twitter) in 2014 under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Tinubu’s post shared on September 9, 2014, reads: “The festering Boko Haram attacks on the North East and massacre of innocent citizens is concrete proof that Nigeria has no government.”

Tinubu was National Leader of the main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) when he made the comment.

His party went on to win the 2015 general election and Muhammadu Buhari emerged president.

Tinubu’s post has remained a talking point for the opposition, which accused his APC-led government of failing to stop violent attacks on hapless Nigerians.

Abdullahi said, “The festering insecurity and violent attacks in Kwara, Katsina and other parts of the country, and massacre of innocent Nigerians is concrete proof that Nigeria has no government.”
