NIGERIANS CAN MO LONGER BEAR BEAR THIS HARDSHIP – GANI ADAMS
In an open letter titled ‘President Bola Tinubu, time is going’, Gani Adams said, “We have no regret that we were created to inhabit this geographical space in the West African axis of the African continent.
Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, called out the President Bola Tinubu administration’s insensitivity to Nigerians’ economic challenges.
He expressed deep concerns over the growing hardship the citizens are facing under the current government.
In an open letter titled ‘President Bola Tinubu, time is going’, Gani Adams said, “We have no regret that we were created to inhabit this geographical space in the West African axis of the African continent.
“Obviously, past leaders, since 1960, disappointed Nigerians with the way ‘Nigeria and Nigerians were badly led and resources selfishly managed’.”
Adams then criticized President Tinubu’s campaign promises, saying, “When you came with the ‘Emilokan’ coinage…many Nigerians were persuaded that…you will perform better than Muhammadu Buhari.”
Reflecting on the harsh economic conditions, Adams highlighted the skyrocketing fuel prices: “On May 29, 2023, when you became the Commander-in-Chief…the price of a litre of fuel was less than N200. Today, it is more than N1000.”
He questioned the reform efforts of Tinubu’s administration, particularly in the economy: “What type of reform is this?… In May 2023, the Naira to a Dollar was less than N740. Today, it is more than N1,600.”
Adams further decried the increase in insecurity across the country, noting, “…from the North to the South, East to the West, the rate at which Nigerians are being abducted…it was as if these blood-thirsty maniacs have just been unleashed on Nigerians from the hottest part of hell.”
Concluding his letter, Adams urged the president to reconsider his policies: “Mr President, don’t you think the wicked and draconian increase in fuel price…is a huge recipe for crisis?” He insisted, “Nigerians can no longer bear this economic hardship any longer.”
