Gani Adams Criticizes President Tinubu’s Economic and Security Policies in Open Letter.




Economic Woes, Skyrocketing Fuel Prices, and Security Issues: What’s Really Happening in Nigeria?



Look, Gani Adams isn’t mincing words here. In his latest “State of the Nation” letter, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland basically called out President Bola Tinubu’s government for, well, dropping the ball... spectacularly. According to Adams, the whole “hope” promise Tinubu ran with has turned out to be the ultimate “plot twist” and not the good kind. You know, the kind where things spiral out of control and you’re left thinking. “Wait, how did we get here?”


Here’s the thing: Adams says that Nigerians had expectations. The whole “Emilokan” (it’s my turn) slogan during the 2023 elections? That got people thinking maybe just maybe Tinubu would swoop in and fix things. But now? The disappointment is as clear as day. And let’s be real: it’s not just about unkept promises. Adams is out here throwing hard facts on the table. For instance, before Tinubu’s “subsidy is gone” announcement, fuel was under ₦200 per liter. Fast forward a few months? It’s over ₦1,000. Ouch.


And it’s not just fuel. Our Naira? Yeah, that’s taken a nosedive too. Before Tinubu came in, one dollar was less than ₦740. Today? Try over ₦1,600. If your jaw dropped just now, you’re not alone. Adams even takes it further, asking Tinubu: “Bro, what kind of reforms are these? What’s your Finance Minister, Wale Edun, and the CBN Governor, Yemi Cardoso, telling you?” It a bit of a head scratcher.


But it doesn’t stop there. Adams points out that insecurity has become an even bigger problem under Tinubu’s administration. The situation hasn’t improved at all, and people are beginning to wonder if there’s a plan to fix it. Or is the government just winging it?


Adams’ letter feels like that moment when someone finally says what everyone else is thinking. And if we’re being honest, it’s hard not to chuckle at some of the bluntness here because, at this point, laughter might be the best way to deal with the mess. But it’s clear Adams isn’t just out to make jokes he’s genuinely concerned. And who can blame him? We’ve all got skin in this game.


Now, if only we could get some straight answers. But until then, buckle up, Nigeria. It’s looking like we’re in for quite the ride.
