Tinubu Is A Lazy Leader, Just Like Other Presidents – AAC

Source: Sahara ReportersThe African Action Congress (AAC) has called on Nigerians to rise and resist the suffering meted out to them by President Bola Tinubu’s government for no justifiable or special reasons.

The Lagos State Chairman of the AAC, Ayoyinka Oni, who made the call in a statement on Saturday said that Nigerians have spent the past 50 days of Tinubu’s administration in pain, confusion and slavery and unless they rise, fight and resist the suffering, they will continue to suffer.

“Tinubu like Buhari is just an old terrible analog thinking entitled tyrant who is from the South. He is more bold in carrying out all the terrible policies against the people because he feels he has the South in his palms since resistance mostly starts from the South on issues like this, but he would be disappointed.

Oni said that what he would have done in his first 50 days in office as the President is to “expose and stop all the corruption in the oil sector”.
