The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of losing control of his administration, citing what it described as conflicting appointments and removals within the Federal Government.
In a statement on Friday signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party said recent reports surrounding the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) raised serious questions about who exercises presidential authority.
The party alleged that an official reportedly removed from office by presidential directive continued to occupy the position and hold meetings with senior government officials. According to the ADC, if the reports are accurate, they suggest a deeper problem within the Presidency regarding the implementation of presidential decisions.
The party also referenced what it described as the "phantom Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council," arguing that the incidents point to a pattern of administrative confusion and competing centres of power within the government.
The ADC further accused the Tinubu administration of repeated policy reversals, including the suspension of the cybersecurity levy and the withdrawal of the expatriate employment levy after public criticism.
It argued that the trend had weakened investor confidence, created uncertainty within the civil service, and undermined the authority of the Presidency.
Calling for greater accountability, the opposition urged the National Assembly to determine whether the President remains capable of fully discharging the constitutional responsibilities of his office.
It also demanded explanations over the reported BCDA appointment controversy and other alleged inconsistencies in government decision-making.
The Presidency has not publicly responded to the allegations contained in the statement.
