Nigeria Is A ‘Glitch,’ Nothing Is Working — Aisha Yesufu

Yesufu Slams Tinubu’s Administration, Says Nigeria ‘At A Standstill’

March 5, 2026

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Aisha Yesufu, has criticised the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the country’s governance as ineffective and claiming Nigeria is currently “at a standstill.”

Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television on Thursday, Yesufu expressed concern over the nation’s economic and security challenges, saying the situation reflects a failure of governance.

According to her, many Nigerians are facing insecurity and economic hardship, while authorities appear unable to address the issues effectively.

“Nigeria right now is like a glitch. Nothing seems to be working, whether economically or in terms of security,” she said. “People are being kidnapped, others are being killed, and terrorists are boldly showing themselves. The country feels stuck, with no real governance taking place.”

ADC Online Registration

Yesufu, who chairs the ADC Online Registration Sub-Committee, also addressed reports suggesting that the party’s digital membership portal experienced technical problems after its launch.

She dismissed the claims, explaining that the platform was simply undergoing routine updates to improve the registration process.

“There is no website that doesn’t require continuous improvement,” she said. “There was no glitch. At no time was the website, page, or app unavailable for registration.”

She added that the party has recorded a significant number of new registrations since the exercise began, though she did not disclose specific figures, noting that the level of public interest has exceeded expectations.

2027 Elections

When asked about the party’s chances in the 2027 general elections, Yesufu expressed confidence that the ADC could compete with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

While acknowledging that the APC controls more than 30 state governments, she argued that the opposition party enjoys widespread support among ordinary Nigerians.

“They may have over 30 governors,” she said, “but we have more than two hundred million Nigerians, excluding those governors and their few supporters.”
