The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu’s

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of presiding over a dangerous decline in state authority, warning that Nigeria is “sliding into state failure” as banditry escalates in several regions.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party condemned reports that armed gangs in Zamfara State extorted over ₦56 million from farmers as a precondition to access their farmlands, and that an entire community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State has been abandoned due to relentless bandit attacks.

“This is not just insecurity,” Abdullahi said. “When criminals can tax citizens at gunpoint, the state has surrendered its monopoly of force. What happened in Zamfara and Kwara is a national surrender.”

The ADC recalled that President Tinubu, as opposition leader in 2014, had called on then-President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over the Boko Haram insurgency, questioning why any part of Nigeria should be under occupation.
