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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
