What we are seeing now is nothing short of bad governance. The economy is in terrible shape, and it\u2019s affecting every Nigerian,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that last week, the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state endorsed the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement followed a stakeholders\u2019 meeting at the Government House in Oke-Fia, Osogbo.<\/p>\n<p>Oyinlola, while admitting and not distancing himself from the endorsement, described it as a strategic political move and not a declaration of ideological alignment or trust.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to widespread poverty, insecurity, and the deteriorating quality of life as evidence that the administration has not only fallen short but has worsened conditions for ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a very bad economy, bad security, and hard-biting poverty. The common man cannot afford basic medication. We are also plagued by religious tension, war, banditry, terrorism, and insurgency. What we have is renewed agony not renewed hope,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
