“This presidency is becoming an embarrassment for the Yoruba people,” Chief Oshodi remarked, highlighting concerns about the economic situation and security challenges under Tinubu’s leadership.
The chief did not mince his words when criticizing the President’s close aides, referring to them as “ball boys” who lack the competence to provide sound advice. He suggested that their personal ambitions and desire for wealth hindered them from presenting the harsh realities to the President.
The people you have surrounded yourself with don’t seem to me to have brains,” Chief Oshodi remarked, expressing his dissatisfaction with the administration’s approach to addressing the widespread hunger experienced by Nigerians.

This critical commentary adds to the growing discontent voiced by various individuals, including Fuji singer Wasiu Ayinde, who recently urged the President to intensify efforts in addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, economic crises, and the depreciation of the naira.
