The Yoruba Union, known as Igbinmọ Majekobaje Ilẹ-Yoruba, has demanded the resignation of Bola Tinubu in response to the recent fuel price hikes and the worsening hunger crisis in the southwest and across Nigeria.
The group is also mobilizing support for widespread protests set to take place in October, aimed at addressing the economic hardship faced by Nigerians due to rising costs.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Convener of the Yoruba Union, Olusola Oluwaseyi Badero, condemned the Tinubu-led administration for allowing the fuel pump price to rise from ₦600 to ₦900 at a time when many Nigerians cannot afford two basic meals a day.
He explained that the Yoruba people, known for their culture of Omoluabi (honour and integrity), have been reduced to begging due to President Tinubu’s anti-people policies.

The union expressed deep concern that President Tinubu’s economic policies have forced many Nigerians into poverty, turning them into beggars.
It further condemned the implementation of IMF policies in collaboration with imperialist forces, claiming these policies have stifled both small and large-scale businesses, particularly harming the Yoruba people.
