The Digest:
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga has dismissed Rauf Aregbesola's criticism of President Tinubu's government, calling the ADC a gathering of "desperate politicians." Onanuga accused Aregbesola of failing during his tenure as Osun governor, citing unpaid civil servants and pensioners, and as interior minister, noting multiple jailbreaks, including the Kuje prison escape. He described Aregbesola's attack on the Renewed Hope Agenda as "ironic," coming from someone who "failed so woefully."
Key Points:

- He accused Aregbesola of parroting opposition "warped narratives" on the economy and security.
- He claimed economic indicators are improving: increased GDP, stronger foreign reserves, bullish stock market.
- He said the Tinubu administration has introduced relief measures, including cash transfers.
- Onanuga insisted: "The Renewed Hope Agenda is not a scam."
