ADC accuses Tinubu govt of impunity, ignores budget and court orders

On July 28, 2026, ADC national spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi told Symfoni TV that President Bola Tinubu’s APC-led administration is ruling Nigeria with impunity, allegedly colluding with the National Assembly under Senate President Godswill Akpabio to undermine the constitutional checks and balances between the executive, legislature and judiciary. He said the government has not implemented the national budget, is running three budgets simultaneously, and has incurred N8.8 trillion in unbudgeted expenditure, which he described as a potentially impeachable offence. Abdullahi also alleged that the administration repeatedly disobeys court orders and systematically undermines opposition parties, eroding democracy itself.

These allegations, if true, signal a serious breakdown of governance: the legislature and judiciary appearing to act in concert with the executive removes a key safeguard against dictatorship, while massive unbudgeted spending risks inflating national debt and diverting funds from essential services such as health, education and infrastructure. For ordinary Nigerians, this could mean poorer public services, higher future tax burdens, and weakened trust in institutions.

Because the claims remain allegations, readers should watch for official responses from the Presidency, the National Assembly, or anti‑graft agencies like the EFCC and ICPC. Staying informed through credible news outlets and demanding transparency and accountability are practical ways to engage with these developments and help safeguard democratic governance.
