Sowore Slams Tinubu’s “Inadequate” Leadership in Face of Rampant Poverty

Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has fired a barrage of criticism at President Bola Tinubu over his perceived failure to alleviate poverty in Nigeria. In a scathing indictment, Sowore called into question Tinubu’s leadership style, arguing that it has been woefully insufficient in addressing the vast socio-economic inequality that plagues the nation.

Activist Omoyele Sowore pulled no punches in his condemnation of President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, delivering his scathing remarks during the African Action Congress’ campaign flag-off ceremony for the upcoming Edo State governorship election.

Omoyele Sowore did not mince words in his assessment of President Bola Tinubu’s impact on the Nigerian economy, asserting that nearly a year into the administration, the country has seen little to no improvement in terms of economic growth and development. Sowore argued that instead of addressing the pervasive poverty in Nigeria, Tinubu’s policies had further exacerbated the hardship faced by the Nigerian people.

He said, “The leadership style of President Tinubu is bad and the poverty that the people are experiencing is alarming.

“Tinubu has failed to make a meaningful impact in the development and economic growth of the country almost a year into his administration while people are grappling with poverty and pain brought upon them by policies that have further impoverished them.”
