Adebayo Tells Tinubu to Stop Blaming Inherited Problems and Focus on Fixing the Economy
Adewole Adebayo, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has urged President Bola Tinubu to stop referring to the challenges he inherited and to focus on the actions he has taken since assuming office.
Adebayo pointed out that the issues Tinubu claims to have encountered were the same ones he spoke about during his campaign, which ultimately led to his victory in the 2023 election.
During his appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Adebayo criticized the President for not prioritizing economic stabilization before implementing certain policies, such as the controversial removal of the petroleum subsidy.
He argued that these decisions contributed to skyrocketing inflation, which has further strained Nigeria’s economy.
According to Adebayo, the government’s inability to manage inflation and stabilize the exchange rate is a significant failure of the current administration.
He emphasized that when a leader steps into office, they should be prepared for the existing challenges. He noted that if a change of leadership were to happen in 2027, the incoming president would already have an idea of the issues they would inherit.
Adebayo also acknowledged Tinubu’s sincerity but expressed concern about his approach. He pointed out that while Tinubu’s desire to reform the country’s fiscal policies and reduce government spending was understandable, the method used to remove the fuel subsidy was flawed.
By removing the subsidy abruptly, the government caused a ripple effect, increasing costs and inflation, while failing to address Nigeria’s most pressing problems, including unemployment and foreign exchange management.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
