Tinubu: Experience Has Shown That Once He’s In, You May Not Be Able To Vote Him Out–Olusegun Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed serious concerns regarding the potential consequences of President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, particularly in light of Nigeria’s ongoing economic difficulties. With his deep experience in governance, Obasanjo highlighted the risks of having a leader in power who might become difficult to remove through democratic means, especially in a country grappling with severe economic instability.

The nation is currently facing significant economic challenges, including rising inflation, high unemployment rates, and widespread poverty. Against this backdrop, Obasanjo’s remarks suggest that the democratic structures in place may not be sufficient to prevent a leader from becoming too entrenched in power. He raised alarms about the dangers of unchecked authority, particularly in a situation where a leader’s prolonged tenure could lead to further economic and social deterioration.

Obasanjo also pointed out the broader implications of extending a leader’s term, whether it be four or six years. He argued that the impact on the country could be severe if a leader fails to address critical issues or pursues policies that worsen the situation. The possibility of a longer tenure raises concerns about the potential for greater harm if the leader is not held accountable for their actions.

In his analysis, Obasanjo stressed the importance of a functioning democracy where leaders are genuinely accountable to the people. He questioned whether the current political system in Nigeria truly allows for such accountability, especially when the leader in power might use their position to secure an extended period of control. This situation could lead to further disillusionment among the populace, particularly if economic conditions continue to deteriorate.
