Insecurity: Stop Blaming Trump, Take Responsibility — ADC Tells FG!

Insecurity: Stop Blaming Trump, Take Responsibility — ADC Tells FG!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has slammed the Federal Government for attributing recent terror attacks in Kebbi and Kwara States to comments made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, calling the move “an embarrassing deflection.”

“This administration must stop looking for scapegoats abroad and start securing Nigerians at home,” the ADC said in a statement Thursday.

Key Points:

• The FG earlier claimed that Trump’s comments on Nigeria’s instability emboldened local terrorists.
• ADC described the accusation as “desperate and unbecoming of a government under siege.”
• The party urged the President to overhaul national security operations and focus on actionable strategies.

Why It Matters:

• Reflects growing political frustration with FG’s handling of insecurity.
• Underscores a widening gap between government narratives and public expectations.
• Heightens calls for leadership accountability amid rising violence.

What to Watch:

• FG’s response to political backlash.
• Renewed calls for a national security summit.
• Public reactions and rising pressure ahead of 2027 elections.
