| Yoruba Union Lambasts Tinubu Over Hardship, Insecurity: 'aso Rock Not Your Famil by treesun(op): 8:17pm On Aug 04, 2025 |
The group expressed deep concern over the growing level of poverty in the region and the alarming increase in the number of out-of-school children. The Yoruba socio-cultural group, Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, also known as the Yoruba Union, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the escalating insecurity and worsening economic hardship in the country. In a statement issued on Monday by its Convener, Olusola Badero, and released by the Home Director, Princess Balogun, the Union accused the Tinubu-led government of neglecting its core responsibilities to the people, declaring that “Aso Rock is not his family house.” The group expressed deep concern over the growing level of poverty in the region and the alarming increase in the number of out-of-school children. It attributed the situation to harsh economic policies and the persistent devaluation of the naira, which have made life unbearable for millions and choked the survival of small-scale businesses. “The South West, like other regions, is groaning under severe hardship,” the statement read. “Families can barely afford food, and our schools are emptying out as parents struggle to meet basic needs. What hope is left for the common man?” The Yoruba Union also condemned the deteriorating security situation, citing the recent abduction of seven farmers by suspected Fulani gunmen in Itaogbolu, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State. Badero recounted how the armed men stormed the community while the victims were harvesting palm fruits, attacked them, and whisked them away into the forest. Calling for urgent action from the federal government, the group emphasised that Nigeria belongs to all its citizens and not to any one individual or group. “People voted for leadership, not monarchy. “It is time for the government to stop behaving as though the presidency is a family inheritance.” “Imagine a country where people live from hand to mouth. Kidnappers demanded a ransom—initially N100 million—which was later reduced to N20 million. Yet, the victims could only manage to raise N5 million. “They were eventually released in Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, last Wednesday night after the kidnappers collected the N5 million and some food items," the union said. The union described the situation as unfortunate, criticising the Tinubu-led government, which had promised to tackle insecurity during the campaign but has so far failed. Yoruba Union added that insecurity in the South West has worsened significantly. According to the union, President Tinubu should not bother contesting the 2027 elections, stating that his track record has proven he is incapable of managing the affairs of Nigeria, contrary to the promises he made before becoming president. “President Bola Tinubu should understand by now that Aso Rock is not his family home. Nigerians are tired of his gimmicks. His economic policies have crippled businesses and sent many to their early graves. People in the South West have not felt any positive impact from his leadership. Instead, they are faced with intimidation, harassment, and the arbitrary arrest of journalists and critics to suppress dissenting voices.” Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá also raised the alarm over the infiltration of Kwara South by suspected Fulani gunmen, particularly in Ifelodun, Irepodun, Isin, and Ekiti local government areas. “Kidnapping has become a lucrative business. Armed Fulani herdsmen with AK-47 rifles have taken over the South West, turning the region into a kidnapping hub. “Despite Tinubu’s anti-people policies, our people can no longer sleep with both eyes closed. They are afraid to go to their farms or travel on major highways due to fear of attack by armed Fulani gunmen who strike at will.” “Enough is enough. Nigeria is not a banana republic. Human lives are sacred. Tinubu remains unconcerned and disconnected from the suffering of ordinary people. His only focus appears to be the 2027 elections.” “As an organisation with presence across the globe, we condemn the current state of affairs and call on President Tinubu to forget about his 2027 ambition. No genuine and concerned son or daughter of the Yoruba race will vote for him again," the union added. https://saharareporters.com/2025/08/04/yoruba-union-lambasts-tinubu-over-hardship-insecurity-aso-rock-not-your-family-house |

Lies, a Yoruba group cannot say that. They must have been infiltrated by ipob miscreants. Real omoluabis won’t say this. This is the template tribalistic bigots will use to comment on this topic ![]() |

The situation is really scary and what makes it worse is the fact that Tinubu doesn't even know what he is doing or what to do to make things better. He is only good at playing ethnic politics of dividing Nigerians along ethnic lines. Anyway, corn tree cannot produce an apple fruit, sadly |

This is something every tribe must learn from the Yorubas - speaking truth to power even when their own person is the leader. Only agbadohs will have a problem with the union. |

Many Yoruba people knows this and are even part of the suffering but the political class is playing bet 9ja with their brains. Renaming streets in Lagos State to jam the heads of igbo and Yoruba so that the Yoruba people will see igbo as their enemies |

Tinubu is very selfish, wicked and heartless. He doesn't feel pity for his own Yoruba people. Are you sure tinubu is actually a Yoruba man? well , what I have to say to this group is that they should arm themselves and endure starvation till 2027 when the wicked man will be ousted insta Allah if not, you are on your own. The only reply Tinubu will give you is ' where are the cows?' Tufiakwa! |

Hahahaha I was telling a colleague at work today that the suffering Nigerians are passing through now, South West are suffering most, second by North. Your brother or tribe man being the President is no guarantee your region will be excepted from hardship. Buhari entered, the North suffered hunger most. They where just busy sharing appointments to their cronies while their region suffers. |
