The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party for the 2027 general election, Adewole Adebayo, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of worsening economic hardship in the country, saying Nigerians are struggling with rising living costs, unemployment and insecurity.
In a statement he issued on Friday as the Tinubu administration marked its third anniversary in office, Adebayo said many Nigerians were finding it increasingly difficult to afford food, healthcare and education.
“Many are working very hard, but the economy of the government of the day makes them look lazy because when they go home, the children will ask the question: why is there no food? Why was I sent out of school with no school fees paid?” he said.
The SDP flag bearer said recent economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidy, had placed additional burdens on citizens.
