Agboola Ajayi, the PDP candidate for the November 16, 2024, Ondo State governorship election, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reconsider some of his policies to ease the suffering of Nigerians.
In a recent interview with journalists in Abuja, Ajayi commended President Tinubu’s efforts towards local government autonomy but expressed deep concern over the broader impact of federal policies on ordinary citizens. He noted that the current economic climate has led to widespread hardship, with many people struggling to make ends meet.
Ajayi remarked, “Everybody is feeling it; it’s not up for debate – the hardship is overwhelming. People are genuinely hungry. These policies need to be reviewed so that the masses can breathe easier. You need to visit the streets to see how people are suffering. Ondo State is even worse.”
He drew from his experience as a local government chairman, emphasizing that local government autonomy has enabled him to implement numerous projects and strengthen democracy. Ajayi advocated for a reevaluation of federal policies to better address the economic challenges faced by Nigerians, particularly in Ondo State.
