Aisha Yesufu, a Nigerian activist cum politician, has described President Bola Tinubu as a bad person, amid the economic hardship in Nigeria.
Yesufu was reacting to Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume’s remark that those Tinubu surrounds himself with are behind Nigeria’s economic hardship.
Ndume had said some individuals are behind the “harmful policies” under Tinubu-led administration rather than focusing on controlling inflation and stabilising the exchange rate.
Ndume said these people are working to undermine Tinubu’s administration, while expressing concerns over the rising prices of fuel, food, and essential goods.
He said: “Those who are bent on making the President look bad will stop at nothing in inflicting pain on Nigerians through the so-called reforms until things get out of hand, and the blame will be on President Tinubu.
“I believe President Tinubu means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. I know this because I know what he stands for. But some of his advisers who don’t mean well to the people of this country give him wrong advice.”
Reacting in a post on X, Yesufu wrote: “Tinubu is the bad person. Call a spade a spade and not a garden implement.”
