ADC To Tinubu: 30% Approval Is Total Failure, Says 70% Of Nigerians Have Rejected Tinubu Ahead Of 2027
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described President Bola Tinubu’s 30 percent approval rating after three years in office as proof that Nigerians have rejected his administration over worsening economic hardship, unemployment, and insecurity.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the latest survey showing that nearly 70 percent of Nigerians are dissatisfied with the direction of the country reflects the daily realities of rising food prices, shrinking incomes, and growing insecurity across the nation.

The ADC argued that after three years in power, the President could no longer blame past administrations for Nigeria’s challenges, insisting that “30 percent approval is not a sign of success, it is a mark of total failure.”
The full statement read:
The latest national approval ratings showing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with only 30 percent public approval is a devastating verdict on an administration that has inflicted unprecedented hardship on Nigerians and failed in its most basic responsibilities of economic management, job creation, and security.
According to the nationwide survey conducted by Eagle Badger Data Analytics (EBDA), only 30.2 percent of Nigerians approve of President Tinubu’s performance, while 47.5 percent disapprove and the overwhelming majority of citizens report worsening living conditions since he assumed office.
For us in the ADC, the significance of this report is clear. A President with only 30 percent approval after three years in office has lost the confidence of the Nigerian people. More importantly, it means that roughly seven out of every ten Nigerians are either dissatisfied, unconvinced, or unwilling to endorse the direction in which the country is being led. That is not a political challenge. That is a national rejection.
The most damning finding in the report is that 62 percent of Nigerians say they are worse off today than they were when President Tinubu took office in May 2023. Only 23.3 percent say their lives have improved. Even more troubling, 42.4 percent of Nigerians describe themselves as being “much worse off” than they were three years ago.
These numbers confirm what Nigerians experience every day. Families can no longer afford basic food items. Transportation costs have become unbearable. Small businesses are shutting down. Young people are facing rising unemployment and diminishing opportunities. Millions of citizens who work hard every day can no longer guarantee decent living conditions for their families.
The same report reveals that food prices have increased by more than 90 percent since May 2023, while the overall price level has risen by roughly 80 percent. These are not opposition figures. They are realities that Nigerians confront in markets every single day.
The government continues to celebrate macroeconomic statistics, but Nigerians do not eat statistics. They eat food. They pay rent. They pay school fees. They pay transport fares. They confront insecurity. And on all these measures, life has become significantly harder under this administration.
The failure extends beyond the economy. Even the survey identifies insecurity as one of the major concerns of Nigerians. Across large parts of the country, farmers remain unable to safely access their farmlands. Communities continue to face attacks from bandits, terrorists, kidnappers, and criminal gangs. Thousands of Nigerians have lost their lives, while millions live in fear and uncertainty.
The tragedy is that after three years in office, the government can no longer claim that these challenges were inherited. The responsibility now belongs entirely to President Tinubu and his administration. Leadership is measured by outcomes, not excuses.
What should concern the President even more is that the survey found a direct relationship between worsening economic conditions and public disapproval.
Among Nigerians who say their circumstances have become much worse under this administration, more than 73 percent disapprove of the President’s performance.
ADC, Tinubu
The verdict from the Nigerian people is therefore unmistakable. This administration has failed to improve living conditions, failed to protect household incomes, failed to create sufficient opportunities for young Nigerians, and failed to restore public confidence in the future.
The ADC believes that Nigeria deserves better. Nigerians deserve a government that understands that economic growth must be felt in homes, not merely announced in press conferences.
They deserve leadership that prioritizes jobs over propaganda, security over excuses, and results over rhetoric.
As the nation moves toward 2027, this survey should serve as a wake-up call. The Nigerian people are speaking clearly. The numbers do not lie. Thirty percent approval after three years in office is not a sign of success. It is a measure of failure.
The ADC remains committed to offering Nigerians a credible alternative founded on competence, accountability, economic recovery, job creation, and the restoration of security across our country.

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary, African Democratic Congress (ADC)

Ebonyi Community Joyfully Welcome Umah? Hail Tinubu’s Infrastructure Development Across Nigeria
It was an extraordinary homecoming in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of State, as residents turned out in large numbers to give the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON, a surprise, unofficial and colourful reception organised spontaneously by the people following his series of stakeholders’ engagements in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital on November 2, 2026.
Eereporter.com
It was a gathering of people who came from different communities across Uburu and Ohaozara to welcome their illustrious son and express appreciation for his contributions to national development under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
The atmosphere was charged and filled with excitement as residents gathered to demonstrate their affection for the former Governor of Ebonyi State, whose appointment as Minister of Works has continued to attract attention to the wider South East.
For the people, the homecoming was a moment to acknowledge what they described as the confidence President Tinubu has reposed in Senator Umahi by entrusting him with one of the country’s most demanding ministerial responsibilities and he is performing excellently.
Among those who addressed the gathering were Onu Okorie, Prince Mathew, Comr. Kingsley Obini, and other prominent stakeholders. They spoke separately, expressing their appreciation for Senator Umahi’s service and the importance of the opportunities President Tinubu had given their son to contribute to national development.
In their individual remarks, they expressed the feelings of pride among the people of Uburu and Ohaozara, particularly over the Minister’s present responsibility for federal road infrastructure across the country. They also spoke about the importance of sustaining development efforts and ensuring that the South East continues to benefit from federal infrastructure investments which informed their reason for overwhelming support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.
Of particular importance to them was the attention being given to federal roads and bridges in the South East, a region where poor road conditions have remained a major concern for residents, motorists, traders and businesses over the years.
The residents commended President Tinubu for appointing Umahi to the Federal Executive Council, describing the appointment as an opportunity for their son to contribute his experience in infrastructure development to national service.
They overwhelmingly declared their commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election, linking their decision to his administration’s infrastructure investments and the opportunity given to Senator Umahi to contribute to the development of the country.
Ebonyi
The remarkable reception came after Senator Umahi’s engagements with stakeholders in Abakaliki, where political and developmental issues affecting Ebonyi State and the wider country had formed part of his activities.
