He said:
“The pains we are enduring now stem from the Buhari era. Despite the tremendous challenges, northern leaders and youths, who are now vocally opposing President Tinubu, did not speak up during Buhari’s tenure.
“They seemed to have tacitly endorsed the hardship, whether through inaction or silent complicity.”
Oladotun accused northern leaders of failing to address or even acknowledge the economic damage inflicted during Buhari’s presidency, and now, their criticism of the current administration seems disingenuous.
Blaming Tinubu for hardship is counterproductive, says Oladotun
Addressing the current #EndBadGovernance protests, the Oladotun argued that blaming President Tinubu for issues rooted in the past is counterproductive.
He said:
“We are deeply pained by the ongoing protests and question whether they are genuinely about national progress or merely an attempt to target specific interests.”
