Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate Adewole Adebayo criticizes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, saying it is overwhelmed by difficulties of governance. Adebayo makes the remarks on Thursday while speaking at the Middle Belt Forum.

He argues that Tinubu’s leadership approach and the process for selecting cabinet members show poor judgment and lack of preparedness. The Daily Post Nigeria reports that Adebayo frames his criticism with an analogy, linking Tinubu’s experience with appointing people unfamiliar with managing an aircraft. Nigerian Eye similarly reports that Adebayo questions cabinet choices and suggests the government is not adequately positioned to handle national challenges.

Both outlets present Adebayo’s comments as part of broader political debate over whether the administration can deliver on promises amid mounting economic and governance pressures.
