Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has expressed concern over the prevailing economic hardship under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.

Sowore lamented the rising hunger and the high level of infrastructural deficit in the country which shows the immense failure of Tinubu’s government.

In an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, January 9, 2025, Sowore said, “There is total mismanagement of the resources of the country and I am not saying this because that is what people want to hear.

“It is because we were told as of a year ago when they took over power, the first decision they made was that they are going to remove subsidy and that whatever they saved from subsidy would be applied to managing the economy better to bring about prosperity, to bring about development.

“All of that cannot be shown anywhere in the country. I just came back from my state, Ondo State.

“The state of road infrastructure is the worst I have seen in a long time. I have not seen poverty like I have seen in recent times.”
