Fayemi Criticizes Tinubu Over Hunger, Poor Infrastructure

Former Ekiti State Governor Dr. Kayode Fayemi has publicly condemned President Bola Tinubu’s government over worsening hunger and infrastructure decay.
During a recent appearance, he warned that public discontent could harm the APC’s 2027 election prospects.
His viral video remarks highlighted citizens’ struggles with poverty and failing federal roads.
Specifically, Fayemi criticized the terrible state of Ekiti’s highways, including the Efon Alaaye-Erio and Omuo-Ayedun routes.
He recalled completing a N20 billion road project as governor but lamented the federal government’s refusal to reimburse Ekiti.
“Had they refunded the money,” he argued, “the current governor could have extended the road to Aramoko.”
His statements reflect broader frustrations over economic hardship.
Moreover, rising inflation and fuel subsidy removal have deepened Nigerians’ suffering.
Fayemi’s blunt assessment, unusually critical for an APC stalwart, suggests internal party divisions.
While the presidency remains silent, analysts see his outburst as a sign of growing unrest.
The administration now faces mounting pressure to address hunger and infrastructure gaps swiftly.
Additionally, Fayemi’s remarks underscore demands for better governance and accountability.
With Tinubu nearing his first year in office, citizens expect tangible improvements.
However, persistent challenges like currency devaluation and unemployment fuel public anger.
If unaddressed, these issues may weaken APC’s dominance ahead of future elections.
Furthermore, the former governor’s focus on Ekiti’s neglected roads highlights federal-state tensions.
His revelation about unpaid refunds exposes flaws in intergovernmental cooperation.
Such disputes hinder development, leaving citizens to endure poor infrastructure.
As criticism grows, Tinubu must prioritize efficient resource management to regain trust.
Ultimately, Fayemi’s intervention signals a critical moment for the APC.
With Nigerians increasingly impatient, the government must act fast to avert a political crisis.
Whether through policy adjustments or infrastructure investments, immediate action is essential.
Otherwise, the party risks losing support before 2027.
The coming months will test Tinubu’s ability to deliver meaningful change.
