As Nigeria grapples with escalating insecurity and governance challenges, former Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) president Ayo Oritsejafor has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu's administration, asserting that the nation has deteriorated under his leadership. Oritsejafor's remarks come amid rising concerns over rampant violence, economic instability, and a perceived lack of effective governance.
In a statement on June 23, 2026, Oritsejafor lamented, “I can no longer remain silent as the issues facing our country worsen daily.” His comments reflect a growing disillusionment among citizens and leaders alike, as many feel that the government's response to chronic challenges such as banditry and inflation has been inadequate. The former CAN president's call to action underscores a broader sentiment that urgent reforms are needed to address the root causes of Nigeria's troubles.
Looking ahead, the Tinubu administration faces mounting pressure to implement strategies that can restore public confidence and ensure security. As voices like Oritsejafor’s gain traction, the government must navigate these criticisms while striving for stability and progress in an increasingly volatile environment.
