Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has blasted President Bola Tinubu over the state of the country, saying his government has failed Nigerians.
Obasanjo stated this on Monday while speaking at the 7.0 Presidential Youth Mentorship Retreat, themed ‘African Youth Renaissance’, at the Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He stated that Tinubu’s incompetence has killed many businesses in the country.
The former President was reacting to the hardship facing Nigerians under the present government.
“Tinubu has failed, his incompetence has made many businesses die. Don’t let him come back for a second term,” Obasanjo said.
According to him, many Nigerians who were doing well before are now struggling to survive.
He lamented that shops have closed, factories have shut down, and young people have lost their jobs because of bad policies.
Obasanjo said the economy has become too hard for ordinary people, stressing that the cost of food, fuel, and other basic things has gone up, while businesses are going down every day.
He said Nigerians should not make the mistake of giving Tinubu another four years, noting that the country needs a new direction and a leader who can fix the economy.
He added that 2027 is the time for Nigerians to decide the kind of future they want.
