The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has confirmed that the very first day Tinubu stepped into office was the beginning of hardship for Nigerians.
The National Spokesperson of CUPP, Comrade Mark Adebayo made this known while addressing journalists on Tuesday in Abuja on the state of the nation under Tinubu after one year.
He stated that Nigerians had assumed that Tinubu would perform a little better than his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, in the areas of economy, security, education, health, infrastructure, and so forth.
He however revealed that after analyzing Tinubu’s first year in office, he concluded that the country’s situation has not only worsened significantly but was even worsening by the day.

In his words, “For the first time in the history of this country, Nigeria was unfortunate to have a president whose first minute in office was marked by unprecedented infliction of unmitigated suffering on the people.
“Even before the new president left the Eagle Square where he was inaugurated, Nigerians had been hit with what can be described as the most cruel economic assault that turned our lives upside-down, made businesses collapse, took food off millions of tables, sent children out of schools in their millions, increased insecurity exponentially, battered lives and scattered marriages irretrievably because the pump prices of fuel were increased by about 600% and the country’s inflation digits tripled instantaneously.
“All of these within the first 60 seconds of Tinubu’s presidency and Nigerians are yet to recover from that tragedy till date. His welcome package to Nigerians was that of mass suffering, mass hunger, mass poverty and a government that is absolutely insensitive to the plights of Nigerians.
He continued, “The real statistics is that there is greater unemployment and job losses in the last one year. It is that majority Nigerians have been economically disempowered as micro- and macroeconomic enterprises are collapsing in droves.
“The so-called Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, for instance, is a wasteful white elephant project with no immediate direct economic benefits to Nigerians.
“This government has not performed well in the last one year at all and this is not opposition cynicism. It is both factual and real for all to see. All Nigerians understand that things have not been this bad”, he lamented. #CUPP
