Former president Olusegun Obasanjo accuses President Bola Tinubu of having failed, speaking at a youth forum in Abeokuta, Ogun State. He calls on Nigerians not to grant him a second term, according to Daily Post Nigeria.
Former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo said on Monday that President Bola Tinubu had failed and should not be re-elected in 2027. He was speaking in Abeokuta, Ogun State, at the 7.0 retreat of the Presidential Youth Mentorship Programme, on the theme "African Youth Renaissance".
"Tinubu has failed, his incompetence has killed many businesses. Don’t let him come back for a second term," he said, according to the Daily Post. He denounced the closure of shops and factories and the loss of young people’s jobs, which he attributes to poor policies.
Obasanjo said the cost of food, fuel and basic goods had risen, and that the country needs a new direction and a leader capable of revitalising the economy. He considered that 2027 was the moment for Nigerians to choose the future they want.
