TDF Accuses ADC of Failing to Pay Staff Salaries for Over a Year

The Democratic Front (TDF) has criticised the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over allegations that the party has failed to pay its staff salaries for more than a year.

In a statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Mallam Danjuma Muhammad, and Secretary, Chief Wale Adedayo, TDF described the alleged failure to pay workers as inconsistent with ADC's criticism of the President Bola Tinubu administration over economic hardship and rising poverty in the country.

The group accused the ADC leadership of failing to uphold workers' welfare and questioned the party's capacity to manage the country's economy if elected into office in 2027.

TDF also linked the alleged situation to the leadership records of some prominent ADC figures, including its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, National Chairman, Senator David Mark, and National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola.

It cited concerns over alleged salary payment challenges associated with Atiku Abubakar's private businesses, the handling of workers' unpaid wages during David Mark's tenure as Senate President, and the half-salary arrangement introduced during Aregbesola's administration as governor of Osun State.

The group argued that these records raised questions about the party's commitment to workers' welfare and economic management.

TDF, however, urged Nigerians to consider the allegations against the ADC and its leadership when assessing political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

It also called on Nigerians to support the Tinubu administration's poverty alleviation initiatives and ongoing economic reforms.
