The ADC-PCC is the campaign structure of the African Democratic Congress, a party that has positioned itself as a coalition platform for opposition figures ahead of future elections, and it frequently issues statements criticising the Tinubu administration's handling of security and the economy.

All three reports agree on the ADC-PCC's core accusation of a leadership and empathy deficit, but none detail a direct response from Tinubu's government, nor specifics of what concrete steps the ADC-PCC wants adopted from Macron's example.
