ABUJA, NIGERIA — Demola Olarewaju, the Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has delivered a scathing assessment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, declaring that the current level of economic hardship has effectively made former President Muhammadu Buhari “look like a saint.”

Olarewaju made the remarks during an interview session on Vanguard’s Politics Hub, where he labeled the current administration a “360-degree failure” across all sectors and called on Nigerians to vote the President out of office in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on the state of the nation, the media aide argued that President Tinubu’s legacy thus far is rooted in economic instability that has severely impoverished citizens. He specifically pointed to the skyrocketing cost of premium motor spirit (petrol), which he noted has dramatically altered the cost of living.
