The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described President Bola Tinubu’s comment at an Iftar (break of fast) with the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) on Wednesday night, as cynical and a mockery of democratic participation. President Tinubu was quoted as saying the “game (of politics) is sweet if you are winning.”

ADC in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said such comment raises serious questions about the president’s democratic credentials and his understanding of the grave responsibilities of leadership at a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling with rising violence, unemployment, and widespread poverty across the country.
