You govt breeding poverty, unemployment, insecurity – Afenifere slams Tinubu
The pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, has publicly slammed President Bola Tinubu’s administration for allegedly leaving Nigeria in a worse state three years after his inauguration. In a statement titled “Tinubu’s Third Year Report: Summum Malum or Summum Bonum,” the organisation claimed the government has failed to deliver on its promises.
Afenifere asserted that the current administration is actively breeding widespread poverty, unemployment, and severe insecurity across the nation. The group expressed deep fear regarding the current state of democracy under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the group, “Afenifere is fearful of the current course of our democracy, and commiserates with Nigerian citizens following three years of the inauguration of this maladministration that has bred poverty, unemployment, mass killings and kidnappings, tampering with democratic federalism, subjugation of other arms of government, etc.”
The organisation further lamented that the administration, which campaigned on a mantra of “Renewed Hope,” has instead brought a “nightmare of ultimate evil.” They specifically cited the rising cases of kidnappings and murders in regions like Kwara and Oyo as evidence of a failure to restructure the security architecture.
Afenifere added, “The nightmare of ultimate evil has become a reality under the APC administration, with teachers being beheaded, children being kidnapped, and villages ransacked and displaced. The ongoing kidnapping of students and teachers and gruesome murders in Kwara, Oyo and other States is a painful reminder of the Tinubu government’s culpable wilful negligence of not restructuring our security architecture, especially the failure to create State and Community Police.”
Concluding their assessment, the group accused the ruling party of dragging the country backward and questioned if there was an “unholy pact” between the APC and terrorists. They expressed hope that the electoral system might eventually provide a path for change by the next inauguration day.
