The presidency has criticised the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, saying the party lacks a clear plan and vision for the country ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a post on X on Friday, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said the NDC, like the African Democratic Congress, ADC, had failed to present a concrete manifesto to Nigerians.

Onanuga said he had visited the NDC website twice in recent days out of curiosity to review the party’s manifesto and compare its vision with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

According to him, attempts to download the manifesto from the website returned the response, “No document found.”

“Like ADC, the NDC has no plan for Nigeria yet.

“Out of sheer curiosity, I have twice in the last few days googled the website of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), the party that the political wanderer Peter Obi and his ally, Rabiu Kwankwaso, sought shelter in after abandoning the ADC midstream.

“I was interested in the party’s manifesto and whether it has enunciated a markedly different vision for the governance of Nigeria, one better than President Tinubu’s and the APC’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“I was disappointed. Even though the site invited visitors to click on its manifesto to read it, the result was negative. ‘No document found’ was the response I got each time I tried to download the manifesto,” part of Onanuga’s remark read.
