Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’ 2023 presidential contender, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s leadership style and the country’s degree of poverty.
Sowore spoke Friday in Benin, Edo State’s capital, at the party’s campaign flag-off ceremony ahead of the state governorship elections 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.
