Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has slammed President Bola Tinubu, noting that he has disappointed Nigerians who believed in him.
Adams in an open letter to Tinubu, dated September 10, expressed disappointment that Tinubu has performed much than his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, whom Nigerians had heaved a sigh of relief when left office in 2023 due to his poor performance.

An Open letter to President Bola Tinubu by the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, on the State of the Nation.
Your Excellency, I bring you good tidings from the more than 65 million Yoruba of South-West in Nigeria, including Edo, Delta, Kwara and Kogi States.
I also write this letter to you as one of the more than 200 million people God created as Nigerians.
We have no regret that we were created to inhabit this geographical space in the West African axis of the African continent.
In fact, we are happy to be here because I don’t know any country in the world that God has blessed, in terms of natural and human resources, like Nigeria.
Obviously, past leaders, since 1960, disappointed Nigerians with the way ‘Nigeria and Nigerians were badly led and resources selfishly managed’.
When you came with the ‘Emilokan’ coinage in the build up to the 2023 elections, many Nigerians were persuaded that as a democrat exposed to modern way of governance, you will perform better than Muhammadu Buhari, a soldier who deepened the poverty levels of Nigerians and increased insecurity from 2015 to 2023.
Today, events have proved that they were wrong.
Mr. President, to say the truth without minding whose ox is gored, you have really disappointed many Nigerians who thought you were the messiah they were waiting for.
The facts are there to speak for themselves.
On May 29, 2023 when you became the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigerians, the price of a litre of fuel was less then N200.
Today, it is more than N1000.
As the Minister of Petroleum, I ask you, what type of reforms is this?
In May 2023, Naira to a Dollar was less than N740.
Now, your two right-hand men when you were Governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007, Wale Edun (Finance Minister) and Yemi Cardoso (CBN Governor) are in charge of the economy.
