Oshoma to Tinubu: You were elected to solve problems, not shift blame
Legal practitioner Liborous Oshoma tore into President Bola Tinubu on Arise TV Saturday, saying the president was elected to fix Nigeria's crises—not blame predecessors. "The President was elected to solve problems, not to shift blame," Oshoma stated, arguing that three years in, the administration still points at past governments while fuel prices, naira devaluation, hunger, and insecurity worsen.
Nigerians voted for Tinubu's "Renewed Hope" platform expecting solutions to these exact issues. Instead, Oshoma says they're getting more blame-shifting than results. He urged the president to own the outcomes and deliver on campaign promises.
The critique lands as inflation bites harder—transport costs up, food prices climbing, and the naira still volatile. Arise TV's platform gives this criticism mainstream reach beyond social media echo chambers.
With 2027 elections approaching, the "blame game" defense wears thinner. Will Tinubu's team pivot to visible problem-solving, or double down on "we inherited this mess" heading into campaign season?
