Renowned broadcast journalist, Oseni Rufai, has criticized Bola Tinubu’s handling of the economy, stating that rather than stopping the country from bleeding, his policies have exacerbated existing problems.
Recall that Parallel Facts reported that Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, said in an interview that the president inherited a nation on the brink, bleeding financially, and that he stopped this economic bleeding by initiating much-needed reforms.
Reacting to this claim, Rufai highlighted concerns including inflation, joblessness, currency devaluation, and stagnant growth, painting a picture of a dying economy in Tinubu’s first year in office.
Taking to his X handle, he wrote, “Someone said the president stopped the country from bleeding in the first year.”
“That’s not true; he in fact lacerated old wounds to start the country’s bleeding. As we speak today, the economy is anaemic with inflation, joblessness, devaluation of the currency and low growth,” he added.
