Nigerians Tired of Tinubu’s “Failed Government” – Adebayo

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, says Nigerians are tired of President Bola Tinubu and what he described as a “failed government.”

Adebayo made the remarks on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on Trust TV, saying Nigeria is in a critical and dangerous state due to a lack of trustworthy leadership.

“Nigerians are tired of Tinubu and his failed government. He has taken the cake in terms of disastrous government,” he said.

He compared the current administration to past governments, recalling how Nigerians grew tired of the PDP’s dominance and its claim that it would rule for 60 years, which led to the “change” movement that brought Muhammadu Buhari to power in 2015.

“Because in 2015, they had gotten tired of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its boast that they would rule for 60 years. They were not satisfied with President Goodluck Jonathan then, and they blindly went with change. At the end of the day, the government that came under Muhammadu Buhari was worse than that of Jonathan, and of course, Tinubu has taken the cake in terms of disastrous government,” he said.

Adebayo also spoke more broadly about political ambition, suggesting that ego plays a role in anyone seeking the presidency.

“Politicians are vicious people. That is why everybody wants to be president. So when you have ambition, you can expect that ego is also involved. For someone to wake up in the morning and say, ‘I want to be president of Nigeria,’ he must have a bit of ego,” he said.
