  • Afenifere, who lamented the state of the nation’s economy, said Tinubu has plunged Nigerians into unprecedented excruciating hardship since he assumed office last hear.

Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has said instead of President Bola Tinubu to ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians he has made things progressively worse for them and compounded their woes.

Afenifere, who lamented the state of the nation’s economy, said Tinubu has plunged Nigerians into unprecedented excruciating hardship since he assumed office last hear.

They stated that the Tinubu-led administration in one year has left Nigerians worse off than they were at the beginning.

They made their position known in a communiqué issued at the end of its quarterly meeting presided over by the Deputy Leader, Oladipo Olaitan, held on Tuesday at Isanya-Ogbo, Ogun State.

Afenifere, while maintaining that the country is enmenshed widespread hardship, hunger, insecurity, and massive unemployment, noted that the present administration lacked the vision and insight regarding the handling of public funds.

They also bemoaned the reckless and wasteful manner Tinubu’s government spends public funds.

The communique reads: “Afenifere noted that the Nigerian people are sorely troubled by the pervasive hardship, crippling hunger, unremitting insecurity in the land, runaway inflation, massive unemployment, etc. all of which have left the people worse off than they were at the beginning.

“Afenifere also observed the reckless, obstinate and indifferent attitude of the government to the long-term effects of the lack of forethought or purpose regarding the handling of the public revenue.

“Afenifere rued some of the Tinubu administration’s profligate predilection or inclination to waste resources, viz.

(a) $100m or N240 billion as purchase price for an Airbus A330 as jet for the President and a further $50m to retrofit it.

(b) N950m each as purchase price of a new set of armoured Cadillac Escalade Limousine SUVs as befitting vehicles for the President.

(c) N21 billion for renovating a new mansion for the Vice President

(d) N90 billion as subsidy for religious pilgrimage

(e) N10 billion to renovate the Presidential Lodge at Ribadu Road, Lagos, etc.”

The group also objected to the present harassment of media professionals while performing their jobs and urged the government to familiarise itself with Section 39 of the Constitution, which protects the freedom of the press and expression.
