“What we are seeing now is nothing short of bad governance. The economy is in terrible shape, and it’s affecting every Nigerian ….
“We have a very bad economy, bad security, and hard-biting poverty. The common man cannot afford basic medication.
“We are also plagued by religious tension, war, banditry, terrorism, and insurgency. What we have is renewed agony not renewed hope” – Oyinlola.

Bola Tinubu’s promise of “Renewed Hope” in his 2023 presidential campaign turns out to be a nightmare of “Renewed Agony”, former Osun Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola has lamented.
He expressed deep concern over the state of the nation, accusing Abuja of failing to deliver on its promises when he featured on Frontline, a current affairs programme on Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese Ijebu on Tuesday, monitored by DAILY POST in Abeokuta.
Oyinlola, a retired General who was Osun civilian Governor from 29 May 2003 to 26 November 2010, said: “When he [Tinubu] was campaigning, he promised a Renewed Hope.
“What we are seeing now is nothing short of bad governance. The economy is in terrible shape, and it’s affecting every Nigerian.”
Incumbent Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke and other state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mandarins recently endorsed the re-election of Tinubu in 2027, following a stakeholders’ meeting at Government House in Oke-Fia, Osogbo.
But Oyinlola described the endorsement as a strategic political move and not a declaration of ideological alignment or trust.
He cited widespread poverty, insecurity, and the deteriorating quality of life as evidence that the Tinubu administration has fallen short and also worsened living conditions for ordinary citizens.
“We have a very bad economy, bad security, and hard-biting poverty. The common man cannot afford basic medication.
“We are also plagued by religious tension, war, banditry, terrorism, and insurgency. What we have is renewed agony not renewed hope,” he declared.
