Nigeria’s opposition leader criticizes Tinubu’s war strategy
Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, presidential candidate for the Accord Party, has accused President Bola Tinubu of lacking a clear strategy to end the country’s ongoing conflict. Hashim, speaking at a party meeting in Osun State, warned that Tinubu’s approach to the war is ineffective and risks further destabilizing the nation. The remarks come amid rising tensions in the country, with various regions reporting increased violence and displacement.
Hashim emphasized the need for a comprehensive national strategy to address the root causes of the conflict, including economic hardship and political neglect. He called on party members and supporters to hold Tinubu accountable for his administration’s handling of the crisis. The criticism follows recent reports of escalating violence in the Niger Delta and the Plateau region, where security forces have been accused of excessive use of force.
The opposition’s stance reflects growing frustration with Tinubu’s government, which has faced criticism for its slow response to the crisis. While the administration has pledged to restore stability, critics argue that its efforts have been inconsistent and insufficient. The situation remains volatile, with analysts warning that without a unified approach, the conflict could worsen. (businessday.ng)
