CITIZENS COMPASS— The African Action Congress (AAC) on Thursday, condemned the Senate approval for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to obtain a $6 Billion loan.
AAC disclosed this in a statement
signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Rex I. Elanu.
It reads: The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly condemns the continued failure of the Tinubu administration to address the total collapse of security across Nigeria. At a time when communities are being overrun by bandits, terrorists, and criminal gangs, and innocent Nigerians are slaughtered daily, this government has chosen to prioritize borrowing billions of dollars over protecting lives.
Rather than demonstrate urgency in confronting the worsening insecurity that has turned large parts of the country into killing fields, the Tinubu government hastily secured approval for a staggering $6 billion loan from a compliant, rubber-stamp National Assembly. This reckless move exposes the regime’s priority of indebting the nation while abandoning its fundamental responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians.
The AAC finds it unacceptable that a government which cannot guarantee basic security continues to plunge the country deeper into debt, with no clear accountability or tangible results to justify such borrowing. This is not governance, it is irresponsibility and impunity on a catastrophic scale.
We therefore call on Nigerians to wake up, stop tolerating this level of government impunity and organize towards mass actions that can cause a fundamental shift from our life threatening realities. A government that cannot protect its citizens has lost its legitimacy. The time has come for citizens to organize, resist, and demand a system that works for us, not against us.
The AAC remains committed to the struggle for a just, secure, and truly democratic Nigeria.
