Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has issued a sharp rebuke to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), urging the opposition party to focus on internal reforms rather than apportioning blame to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over national challenges.
In a strongly worded statement, the APC accused the ADC of engaging in what it described as “habitual blame politics,” arguing that such an approach neither contributes to national development nor offers credible alternatives to Nigerians. The ruling party maintained that governance requires constructive engagement, not persistent criticism devoid of workable solutions.
The APC emphasized that President Tinubu’s administration inherited complex socio-economic and structural challenges, including fiscal constraints, security concerns, and systemic inefficiencies. According to the party, ongoing reforms initiated by the administration are targeted at stabilizing the economy, improving revenue generation, and addressing long-standing governance issues.
Reacting to recent criticisms from the ADC, the APC said opposition parties must demonstrate internal coherence, policy clarity, and organizational discipline if they are to be taken seriously as viable alternatives. It advised the ADC to “put its house in order,” noting that credible opposition should be rooted in well-articulated policy frameworks rather than rhetoric.

The statement further underscored the APC’s position that democratic consolidation thrives on responsible opposition—one that critiques constructively while also offering solutions. It added that attempts to politicize every policy decision or reform effort risk undermining public confidence in governance.
While reaffirming its commitment to delivering on campaign promises, the APC called on all political stakeholders to prioritize national interest over partisan considerations. The party insisted that sustainable progress would require collaboration, patience, and a shared sense of responsibility across the political spectrum.
The exchange highlights the continuing tensions between Nigeria’s ruling party and opposition groups, as debates over governance, accountability, and reform intensify in the country’s evolving political landscape.
