Tinubu's Leadership Under Fire: Gani Adams Expresses Discontent

In a recent open letter addressed to President Bola Tinubu, Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has voiced his dissatisfaction with the current state of Nigeria. The letter, titled "President Bola Tinubu, Time is Going," expresses his frustration and disappointment with Tinubu's administration, accusing it of being indifferent to the growing hardship and insecurity faced by Nigerians.

Rising Economic Hardship

Adams condemned the Tinubu-led government for its apparent lack of empathy and responsiveness to the economic struggles that have gripped the nation. He argued that the government’s policies have led to unprecedented suffering, further compounding the financial hardship of ordinary Nigerians. According to him, many citizens had placed their hopes in Tinubu’s leadership, expecting reforms that would alleviate their plight, but instead, they have been met with rising costs and diminishing prospects.

One of the major points of contention is the steep increase in fuel prices, which, under Tinubu’s administration, skyrocketed from less than N200 to over N1000 per liter. This has placed a severe burden on businesses and households across the country, pushing more Nigerians into poverty. Additionally, Adams highlighted the dramatic depreciation of the Naira, which fell from less than N740 to over N1,600 per U.S. dollar, further exacerbating inflation and eroding the purchasing power of citizens.

Concerns About Insecurity

Beyond the economic issues, Adams also criticized the government's handling of national security. He pointed out that despite the presence of security chiefs, the rate of abductions, killings, and other violent crimes has continued to rise. He questioned the effectiveness of the security briefings provided to the President and expressed concern about the seeming inability of security agencies to curb the growing wave of violence.

Adams lamented that human rights activists and civil society organizations have increasingly become targets of government harassment, raising alarms over the shrinking space for freedom of speech and expression. He argued that such actions could stifle democratic engagement and worsen the country's security challenges.

A Call for Urgent Action

In his letter, Adams urged President Tinubu to remember the campaign promises he made to Nigerians and to take immediate steps to reverse the current trend of hardship and insecurity. He warned that if the situation is not addressed, it could lead to a larger crisis in the country. According to Adams, the current trajectory of Tinubu’s administration is untenable and could push Nigerians into further despair, which might result in civil unrest.

The Yoruba leader called for urgent reforms to alleviate the suffering of the people, particularly in the areas of fuel prices, currency stabilization, and security. He emphasized that failure to act swiftly could tarnish Tinubu's legacy and further erode public trust in the government.

Conclusion

Gani Adams' letter serves as a stark reminder of the growing discontent among Nigerians regarding the performance of President Tinubu’s administration. His critique underscores the urgent need for the government to take concrete steps to address the economic and security challenges facing the nation. As Nigerians continue to grapple with unprecedented hardship, the call for decisive action has never been more pressing. Adams’ warning about the potential for further unrest should prompt the administration to reevaluate its policies and make the necessary adjustments to restore hope and stability in the country

History-Will-Judge-the-Plotters:-Tinubu’s-Statesmanship-Halts-a-Reckless-Impeachment-in-Rivers

History Will Judge the Plotters: Tinubu’s Statesmanship Halts a Reckless Impeachment in Rivers Dave Ikiedei Asei/Wisdom Tide  January 9th, 2026 In moments of political tension, nations are often defined not by the noise of dissent but by the calm authority of leadership. Rivers State recently stood at such a crossroads, threatened by an ill-conceived impeachment plot against Governor Siminalayi Fubara—a move so poorly grounded in law, morality, and public interest that it exposed its sponsors more than it imperiled its target. The timely intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who ordered the Rivers State House of Assembly (RSHA) to immediately halt all impeachment proceedings and directed lawmakers to consult with the APC National Chairman for guidance, restored sanity to a process drifting dangerously toward chaos. This episode will not be remembered as a triumph of intrigue. It will be recorded as a cautionary tale—one where ambition attempted to outrun reason, ...
