Afenifere, a leading Yoruba socio-political group, has delivered a scathing midterm assessment of President Bola Tinubu’s government, accusing him of worsening poverty and undermining democracy.
  • Afenifere accuses Tinubu of replacing “renewed hope” with economic despair
  • Claims of massive propaganda, rising debt, and poverty dominate the group’s report
  • The government allegedly fosters elite luxury while ordinary Nigerians suffer
  • Warns against creeping authoritarianism and a shift towards a one-party state
  • Allegations state suppression of protests and democratic institutions
In blunt language, the Afenifere faction accuses President Tinubu of deepening Nigeria’s woes, economically and politically. They say reforms like fuel subsidy removal and currency float were rushed without safety nets, worsening hardship. More troubling, the group sees a democracy under threat, citing rising intolerance, suppression of protests, and efforts to centralise power. Their statement, striking given Tinubu’s Yoruba roots, reflects growing discontent across regions and political divides.

Is Tinubu’s administration listening or just campaigning for 2027? The voices from Afenifere may be echoing a growing national frustration that cannot be muted with propaganda.
