President Bola Tinubu has come under fire from former president Olusegun Obasanjo, who claims that his administration has let Nigerians down.
Speaking on Monday at the 7.0 Presidential Youth Mentorship Retreat with the subject “African Youth Renaissance” at the Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Obasanjo made this claim.
He claimed that numerous enterprises in the nation had been destroyed by Tinubu’s incapacity.
The former president was responding to the difficulties Nigerians were experiencing under the current administration.
“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.
Former governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, claims he has changed his mind and will back President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign event in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, Okowa revealed this.
Okowa emphasised that time has passed, pointing out that he was on another ticket in 2023.
Remember that Okowa was Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2023 election for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“I was in another ticket in 2023 but I have now seen the light. I have seen what Tinubu is doing. I have seen where Nigeria is going. I cannot stay in darkness when there is light,” Okowa said.
