Breaking News: Tinubu’s 2026 Budget A Death Wish For Next Generation – ADC
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, says the 2026 budget proposal by President Bola Tinubu is a dangerous debt trap that threatens to mortgage Nigeria’s future and deepen the country’s fiscal crisis.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, the budget proposal exposes growing fiscal recklessness, administrative chaos and what it called a disturbing lack of concern for future generations.
Abdullahi slammed the government’s claim that the proposal represents a ‘Budget of Consolidation, Renewed Resilience and Shared Prosperity.’
According to him, the document reflects a continuation of failed fiscal practices under the Tinubu administration.
“What was presented was only a consolidation of the fiscal recklessness and renewed wishful thinking that have become the hallmark of the Tinubu administration.
“If approved, the only thing this budget is capable of sharing is more debts and greater misery in the years ahead.
“The 2026 budget proposal only copies the templates of the failed, unimplemented and perhaps, unimplementable 2024 and 2025 budgets and will most likely end up in the same way,” the ADC said.
Weighing in on revenue projections, the party described the figures contained in the budget as unrealistic, recalling that revenues rose to about N20 trillion in 2024 largely due to currency devaluation, before being doubled to N40 trillion for 2025 and increased to N58.57 trillion in the 2026 proposal.
It queried the $64-per-barrel oil benchmark used in the budget, warning that weakening oil projections and softening global prices make the assumptions risky and detached from reality.
The ADC further stated that the N34 trillion revenue target ignores alternative scenarios and depends on conditions that no longer exist.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
