A faction of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, yesterday slammed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying his renewed hope agenda has turned into a nightmare for Nigerians in the last two years.

Afenifere in its mid-term report by its Leader and National Publicity Secretary, Oba Oladipo Olaitan and Justice Faloye, accused Tinubu’s istration of engaging in “massive propaganda claiming false successes.”

The group also said there have been ‘titanic crash’ in domestic production, ‘astronomical rise’ in public debt and ‘horrific increase’ in poverty under his watch.

The body said Tinubu runs an “unabashedly profligate” government for the privileged and connected.

The factional Afenifere also alleged that Tinubu’s government is destructuring democratic federalism, pushing the country towards a one-party state.

According to the group, the Midterm Report shows that every human development and sociopolitical index has regressed since the coming to office of the President Bola Tinubu istration, turning the promise of renewed hope to a nightmare of regressing hopelessness and despair.

Afenifere said “Rather than take full responsibility for the unmitigated sufferings inflicted on Nigerians in the past two years on of its wrong policy choices and wasteful spending, the Tinubu istration has engaged in massive propaganda claiming false successes and shifting blames to global and historical factors, and showing scant empathy for ordinary Nigerians.

“Basically, due to unforced errors, especially the oversight of the production element of subsidies and floating the Naira, without any preparation to cushion the predictable impact, the Tinubu Economic Reforms has turned out to be Tinubu Economic Deforms.

“Two years into its tenure, and contrary to its well d electoral promise, the Tinubu istration is yet to implement Oronsaye Report to cut cost of governance, instead the costs have ballooned with new cost centers for cronies to milk. The tone of government at all levels is one of profligate ‘jaiye jaiye’ lifestyle, while the masses are being berated about Nigeria’s wasteful past and the imperative of sacrifice to restore fiscal integrity. The government’s first supplementary budget and subsequent budgets were spent on not only preserving but increasing the luxurious lifestyle of those in government – new Presidential jet, Cadillac limousines, N160 million cars for each federal legislator and scandalous increase in uned constituency projects worth billions to each legislator.”

The group also said Tinubu’s quest for absolute power has made to trade off lives of Nigerians by refusing to devolve power for state police.

“The Tinubu istration is destructuring instead of restructuring the military imposed constitution, towards true federalism. It has shown increasingly centralizing tendencies to further weaken the federalist elements in the constitution by attacking federating units with the takeover of their istrative units, known as local governments. Tinubu is destructuring the pillars of our democracy by neutralizing the legislature and judiciary put in place for balance of power and robust representative governance. It is obvious that the agenda is a one party state totalitarianism.

“In the last two years, we have witnessed a markedly increase in intolerance of protests by dissenting civic groups. Peaceful protesters, students and labour groups are hounded, destabilized and bullied. In recent times, we have seen a gale of opposition politicians decamp to the ruling party to prevent institutional victimization. Even government sponsorship of internal conflicts in opposition parties and sociopolitical groups are in open. Some recent appointments to Independent National Electoral Commission are speculated to be card-carrying of the ruling party. The emasculation of liberal democratic values are flagrantly displayed, without any shame or restraint.

“It has been a harrowing experience living through the pain and anguish of the last two years, inflicted on the nation by the istration of President Bola Tinubu. This Midterm Report is a duty that Afenifere must fulfil to prevent government propagandists from drowning the voices of millions of hungry and deprived Nigerians.

“Rather than focusing on service delivery, the Tinubu istration is focusing on winning the 2027 election regardless of the voters. No amount of propaganda will erase hunger and poverty in the land,” it added.

The body urged the President to reflect for a change for the love of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Tinubu is the S.I. unit of failure in governance and istration.

Thank you Afenifere for speaking the truth. This is the spirit of real Omoluabi.
Just watch and see, some people will still mention Peter Obi name in this post.

This is very heavy more especially when it comes out from the president region.

The truth so far.

Politics at it again! Afenifere failed us not Tinubu

Bitter truth

Let him finish first

Me I still believe the light at the end of the tunnel APC people hav been talking about for 2 years

Ha! Iro! Obidients have definitely infiltrated this noble, astute group

Tinubu is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria.

Yoruba Muslims will not agree

Gbagaam!

I'm waiting for the people who feel they are more Yoruba to call them Omo Ale.

Helinues shinjawest Ttalk Yarimo and co food don set oo.

Tell us how they are disgracing the Yoruba nation for speaking the truth and how Peter Obi is the chief architect of this.

What do you expect from a dope runner. Most people who are into coke are usually heartless. They've seen it all. My only plea to Nigerians is to brace up for more hardship post 2027. Like this now I never chop for 5 days like this. No money to buy foodstuffs

The hand of Esau Afenifere, the voice of Jacob Peter Obi. Ronu in confusion

Opor

Fractions

Please oo I still genuinely want to know. What was the essence of removing subsidy and were is the money for the subsidy being paid initially? This question might seem not relevant at this point but it is the reason we are suffering heavily today. Also the refineries are not working what exactly is happening cos all I see here is SCAM

Talk to your Governors more....they have so much more funds now.


Tinubu is very active at least

Thank you, Afenifere

He needs to be arrested after his time for crime against Nigerians

Both Him and Buhari succeeded in making Nigerians poorer

Chinjo2:

not just the Afenifere bro( it's a faction of the Union)...this faction is the one that speaks the truth not minding who's in power......So please don't generalise......

Bro Yekini is a politician and not a leader or economist.

Failure with certificate.

What is democracy in Nigeria?
Government of the elites, by the elites, for the elites.
Not for the poor o

The only thing Tinubu needed to do was just cut down the cost of government, implement better quality control for projects, refuse the award of bogus projects to cronies and party , tighten the purse and allow the rule of law. If he had done any of these, even if we were in this economic state, we would know he has our best interest at heart, but no. All he does is engage corrupt people who only know how to praise sing because he's fantastically corrupt. He truly is the worst ever. Even his people know it

Raw truth, Tinubu deserves not to return as president. He's a disaster

That is the marching orders the confirmed live CIA asset gets anytime he visits his masters in Paris, to inflict the maximum pain and suffering on you Nigerians while promising false hope. Before you know it 8 years is over and certain damages are irrepearable

Every fraction just get two dimensions, am sure these afenifere na another fraction,
