Activist and political figure Omoyele Sowore has labeled President Bola Tinubu as clueless in response to recent statements regarding the state of hunger in Nigeria. During an event at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the President defended his economic performance by suggesting that food insecurity existed in the country long before he was even born. He cited this as evidence that he is dealing with historical national challenges.
Sowore challenged this perspective on the social media platform X. He questioned whether Tinubu pursued the presidency with the intention of fixing the country’s economic struggles or merely continuing a cycle of generational poverty. The activist argued that the primary purpose of seeking leadership should be to resolve such fundamental issues rather than pointing to past conditions to deflect criticism. Sowore concluded by suggesting that the current administration seems committed to maintaining the status quo.
