The African Action Congress (AAC) has issued a scathing statement condemning the Tinubu regime’s anti-poor policies, which they claim have led to the recent nationwide stampede tragedies.

The AAC mourns the loss of lives in the stampedes at Ibadan funfair, Okija in Anambra State, and Abuja, which have resulted in the deaths of dozens of people, including children.

“These devastating incidents are heartbreaking consequences of the poverty and desperation inflicted upon Nigerians by the anti-poor policies of the Tinubu regime,” said Femi Adeyeye, National Publicity Secretary of the AAC.

According to the party, “The recent tragic stampede at the Ibadan funfair, which resulted in the loss of 35 young lives and left six others critically injured, is a clear example of the devastating impact of these policies.”

The AAC also condemned the Tinubu regime’s response to the tragedies, stating that instead of taking concrete actions to address the crisis, the President was “gallivanting with his retinue of sycophants, showing off his new jet and fleet of cars.”

This, the AAC said, is a clear indication of the regime’s insensitivity to the plight of ordinary Nigerians.

“To add insult to injury, since these incidents, the Tinubu regime has not constituted any measures, including emergency responses, to address this recurring menace,” Adeyeye said. “In other climes, a missing persons register would have been opened, a situation room where hourly updates on rescue and relief given to the grieving, would have been opened too.”

The AAC demanded justice and compensation for the victims and their families, calling for a democratic committee to ensure transparency and accountability.

“While we are sure that no amount of compensation can blot out the grief experienced at this time, we call for a democratic committee, comprising representatives from working people organizations, to ensure transparency and accountability,” Adeyeye said.

The party also urged Nigerians not to be deceived by the condolence messages from politicians, describing their words as “crocodile tears” aimed at exploiting the suffering of the people for their own political gain.

“We urge Nigerians not to be deceived by the condolence messages from politicians who have destroyed our country; who are responsible for the policies that led to these tragedies,” Adeyeye said.

The AAC’s statement comes amid growing concerns about the impact of the Tinubu regime’s policies on the lives of ordinary Nigerians. The party demands an end to these anti-poor policies and the establishment of a government that truly represents the interests of the people.

“It’s time for Nigerians to bond together to end this regime of pain and hardship,” Adeyeye said. “The AAC will continue to fight for a system that prioritizes the welfare and well-being of the people, not just the profits of the few.

“We demand an end to the anti-poor policies of the Tinubu regime and the establishment of a government that truly represents the interests of the people”, AAC stated.
