Faction of the Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has called on

President Bola Tinubu to save the country from imminent collapse.

The group, which raised the concern after its regular quarterly meeting held

at Isanya-Ogbo, Ogun State, said Nigeria is on the verge of total collapse due

to the policies undertaken by the Tinubu-led administration since coming

into power last year.

In a communique jointly issued by Afenifere Deputy Leader, Oladipo Olaitan,

and Deputy Secretary General, Alade Rotimi-John, the group said the state of

the nation has left the people “perplexed,” adding that if the “ugly trend is

not arrested, the country may collapse.”

Afenifere also said, the majority of Nigerians are “troubled by the pervasive

hardship, crippling hunger, unremitting insecurity in the land, runaway

inflation, and massive unemployment, all of which have left the people worse

off than they were at the beginning, and also frowned at what it called the

“reckless, obstinate, and indifferent attitude of the government to the long-

term effects of the lack of forethought or purpose regarding the handling of

the public revenue.”

The group decried some of the Tinubu administration’s “profligate

predilection or inclination to waste resources,” stating that “$100 million

dollars or N240 billion used for the purchase of Airbus A330 as a jet for the

President and a further $50 million dollars to retrofit what was uncalled for.”
