The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Adams, voiced out his frustration with President Bola Tinubu, saying the president has disappointed many Nigerians who brought him to power.
He criticised the president’s handling of the petroleum sector, especially the recent hike in price of premium motor spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol, saying the situation is worsening the hardship in the land.
He asked the president to reverse what he called, “the ugly trend,” saying the time is going.
In an open letter to Tinubu, Adams said, “When you came with the ‘Emilokan’ coinage in the build up to the 2023 elections, many Nigerians were persuaded that as a democrat exposed to modern way of governance, you will perform better than Muhammadu Buhari, a soldier who deepened the poverty levels of Nigerians and increased insecurity from 2015 to 2023.

“Today, events have proved that they were wrong. Mr President, to say the truth without minding whose ox is gored, you have really disappointed many Nigerians who thought you were the messiah they were waiting for.”
He said the increase in price of fuel which was less than N200 when the president took over, now selling over N1,000 has shown that the administration is insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
“Obviously, your administration is becoming indifferent, insensitive and unresponsive to the plights of millions of Nigerians who can no longer meet their daily needs. This is a brutal assault on the sensibility of Nigerians.
“I think you and your party should be sensitive to the plights of Nigerians. Mr President, don’t you think the wicked and draconian increase in fuel price, especially, at this time that Nigerians have been pushed to the wall, is a huge recipe for crisis? Nigerians can no longer bear this economic hardship.”
