Hardship: Sowore knocks Tinubu

The African congress 2023 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has knocked President Bola Tinubu over his style of leadership and the level of poverty in the country.

Sowore on Friday spoke in Benin, Edo State capital, at the party’s campaign flag-off ceremony ahead of the state governorship elections coming up on September 21.

He said Tinubu has failed to make a meaningful impact on the development and economic growth of the country.

He said almost a year into his administration, people are grappling with poverty and pain brought upon them by policies that have further impoverished them.

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.”

He, however, expressed the hope that the country would one day bounce back if only the people were allowed to take charge of their affairs.
