In a recent interview with Daily Post on Thursday, March 12, 2026, Prince Adewole Adebayo, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, stating that Tinubu’s actions have weakened Nigeria and caused divisions in the country.
Adebayo argued that although many people love Nigeria, working with Tinubu would not help the nation and described the president as someone who, intentionally or not, is harming the country’s unity.
According to him, Tinubu’s government has failed to address key problems facing Nigerians, issues such as insecurity, poor economy, and corruption have worsened under his leadership, Adebayo warned that these failures affect ordinary citizens the most, making life difficult for many families.
He said that Nigerians deserve leaders who put the country above personal or political interests, leaders should focus on strengthening the nation and protecting citizens.
Adebayo used his platform to urge political actors to prioritize Nigeria’s well-being and encouraged the government to listen to the people and act decisively on national challenges.
He claimed that some government policies under Tinubu have created more confusion and division, these policies, according to him, have made it harder for communities to cooperate and for the country to progress.
The SDP candidate raised concerns about upcoming elections and stressed that leaders should ensure free and fair processes, rather than using insecurity or unrest to manipulate outcomes.
Adebayo reminded Nigerians of the importance of unity and encouraged citizens to demand accountability from political leaders and to support actions that strengthen the country.
”Because Bola Tinubu is not Nigeria. Bola Tinubu, in some way, is anti-Nigeria, he is working to make the country weaker and less united,” he said.
