Yoruba Union Says "Tinubu Is Confused, Out Of Ideas"; Warns Nigerians Not To Repeat The Mistake Of Electing Him
A Yoruba socio-political group has issued a blistering rebuke of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying the president appears "confused" and "out of ideas" and warning Nigerians not to repeat the mistake of electing him in future elections. 0
What the Union Said (at a glance)
In its statement the union said Nigeria is suffering growing humanitarian and socio-economic distress — including rising poverty, food insecurity and increasing difficulty for ordinary families — and blamed the administration's policies and priorities for much of the pain. The group argued that Yoruba dignity is being undermined and urged citizens to register and vote to avoid repeating the same choice at the ballot box. 1
Context — Why this criticism matters
The criticism is notable because it comes from a Yoruba-identified group while the president himself is Yoruba — internal criticism across ethnic lines can be politically significant and is often taken as a sign of declining elite or grassroots support. Several pan-Yoruba organisations and factions have in recent months publicly criticised the administration's record on living standards and governance. 4
Economic and humanitarian backdrop
Independent reports and international agencies have documented a deepening food and cost-of-living crisis in Nigeria in the last year; a recent assessment showed tens of millions facing food insecurity, a trajectory that critics link to economic reforms and inflationary pressures. These broader conditions help explain why groups are publicly condemning the government and mobilising voters. 5
