Tinubu’s 2027 campaign council is ‘rehabilitation centre for corruption suspects’ – ADC

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formally criticized President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 campaign council, characterizing the body as a rehabilitation center for individuals facing unresolved corruption allegations. The opposition party’s statement specifically highlights the inclusion of former Humanitarian Affairs Minister Betta Edu and former NSITF Chairman Ngozi Olejeme in the council's membership.

This critique centers on the ethical implications of appointing officials currently under scrutiny for financial misconduct to high-level political campaign roles. By labeling the council a sanctuary for suspects, the ADC is challenging the administration’s commitment to anti-corruption standards ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
