Mixed reactions as Nigerians assess Tinubu's 1-year anniversary in office

Tinubu was inaugurated as the 16th President of Nigeria on May 29, 2023. Some residents of Okitipupa in Ondo State who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday, commended Tinubu for his efforts at fixing the nation’s economy, while others said that he had failed Nigerians because of their high expectations of him.

While calling on Tinubu to search for competent hands, the respondents urged him to rejig his cabinet for optimal performance. Morenike Alaka, a former Chairman, of Okitipupa Local Government, told NAN that Tinubu was not the genesis of the current economic woes being experienced by Nigerians, saying it was an inherited problem.

Alaka noted that it was not possible to fix the current situation of the country without affecting some policies that would be unfavourable to Nigerians in the short term but would be beneficial in the long term.
