The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland and founding member of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Gani Adams, in this interview with KEHINDE OLATUNJI, spoke on why President Bola Tinubu should review his policies that increased hardship in Nigeria. He suggested a return to agreement by Nigeria’s founding fathers on true federalism and regionalism as a solution to the multifaceted crises facing the country.
How will you assess the administration of President Bola Tinubu amid the protest against hardship and hunger?
Truth be told, some of President Bola Tinubu’s policies are harsh. For instance, the removal of fuel subsidy, personally, I didn’t buy into the idea. No matter the situation, a leader should preach understanding to his people. If you want to increase fuel prices by 300 per cent, as a leader, president, and father of the nation, you need to explain it to the people. Even parents at home discuss important decisions with their family before implementing them.
