By Professor Mondy Gold When U.S. President Donald J. Trump issued a blistering warning to Nigeria’s government, demanding an end to the mass killings of Christians or risk losing U.S. aid and facing possible military action, his words struck with the force of a moral earthquake.

Mallam Bolaji The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the federal government’s claim of increased local production of food as dishonest, given that many farmers, especially in the northern part of the country, have been displaced by banditry, while those that remained active could not afford the skyrocketing cost of fertilisers and other critical inputs. In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party questioned the rationale behind hoarding imported food while millions go hungry, calling it a deliberate weaponisation of poverty for political gains. The party urged a complete overhaul of the country’s agricultural…

Date: 21 October 2025 – African Heritage Global Affairs Editor It is with deep shock, anger, and grief that the ADC-Diaspora Network (ADC-DN), on behalf of the wider ADC family worldwide, condemns in the strongest possible terms the cowardly arson attack on the ADC Party Secretariat in Ekiti State earlier today.
