Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in 2023, has referred to President Bola Tinubu's administration as a 'Yahoo Yahoo' government.
Sowore made the comment while criticizing the removal of subsidies and the Federal Government's suggested palliative.
He asked what the Federal Government had done with the money that had been accumulated since the removal of fuel subsidy, emphasizing that not one road had been built.
Sowore also mentioned at the round table discussion which held in Abuja that Tinubu's family would be among the wealthiest in the world at the end of his four-year tenure.
According to Sowore: “This Tinubu’s government is ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ government, his family will be the richest in the world by the time he does four years as president. This is not our government, and we have accepted to liberate this country.
“There is nothing I have said since 2019 that has not come to pass, how can you help somebody to build a refinery and you can’t repair your own? The money Dangote used in building his refinery came from the NNPC that they claimed can’t manage refineries. I was the first person to say that Dangote can’t complete the refinery when Buhari went to commission it.
“Palliatives is an insult to the people, the number of fuel trucks smuggled, the problem with this subsidy is that the people known by the government are the ones stealing the money. They are all lying that subsidy is not good for Nigerians, subsidy is the only thing that Nigerians enjoy, and they themselves are following it up.
“Since they removed the subsidy , which road have they constructed? They have not even paid the salaries of NYSC members. Nothing has changed in Nigeria, and the only thing subsidy has brought is hardship and suffering.â€
