Adolphus Wabara, the former Senate President and current Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, criticized President Bola Tinubu’s recent statement about improving Nigeria’s economy. He said the comment was unfair to the many Nigerians who are currently facing serious hardship.

Wabara explained that if the economy had truly improved, everyday Nigerians would be speaking up in support of the government. He believes people wouldn’t need any convincing because they would naturally notice and talk about the positive changes.

He pointed out that what people are experiencing—like higher prices, hunger, and deeper poverty—shows that the President’s claims don’t match reality. According to him, these conditions prove that the economy is actually getting worse, not better.

Wabara said it’s hard to understand how the President can talk about economic recovery when everything around shows the opposite. He mentioned that Nigerians who are poor and hungry don’t need speeches. They would feel real change through lower market prices and improved living conditions.

He advised President Tinubu to use the rest of his time in office to bring real economic changes, not just words. Wabara said that some government policies, especially those involving multiple taxes, are making life harder for people and hurting businesses.

He also stressed the need to fix the country’s worsening security issues. According to him, many farmers have had to leave their land because of attacks by bandits and criminal herders. This has caused food shortages and increased hunger across Nigeria.

Finally, Wabara blamed the ruling APC party for damaging an economy that was once strong. He said when the PDP was in power, Nigeria’s economy was one of the top two in Africa. But under the APC, those gains have been lost.
