Real Scammers Are In ADC’ – Bayo Onanuga Slams Opposition Bloc

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has described the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a platform for “scammers” and “desperate politicians” lacking a unified national agenda.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

He made the remarks while responding to criticism of President Tinubu by ADC chieftain Rauf Aregbesola during the party’s National Convention in Abuja.

Aregbesola, who serves as the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, had earlier labelled the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Renewed Hope Agenda as a “classic scam.”

In a post shared on his handle, Onanuga fired back, saying, “No, Rauf. The real scammers are the politicians inside the SPV called ADC,” accusing the former minister of repeating opposition narratives and misrepresenting the performance of the current administration.

He also criticised Aregbesola for allegedly calling on President Tinubu—whom he described as his “former boss, mentor, and benefactor”—to resign, saying such remarks echoed opposition talking points and claims about insecurity in the country.

Onanuga further revisited Aregbesola’s tenure as governor of Osun State, accusing him of leaving behind widespread hardship, including unpaid salaries for civil servants and suffering among pensioners.

He also faulted his time as Minister of Interior, alleging that the period was marked by administrative challenges such as delays in passport processing and several prison breaks, including the Kuje incident.

Onanuga described it as “ironic” for Aregbesola to criticise the government on security matters given his past record.

Defending the Tinubu administration, he stated that while reforms have had short-term economic effects, the government has introduced various relief measures such as cash transfers and support for small businesses.

He added that key economic indicators—including GDP growth, foreign reserves, and stock market performance—were showing improvement and reflecting increased investor confidence.

Onanuga reaffirmed that the administration remains committed to its reform agenda, insisting it is yielding positive results.
