‘Renewed Hope Has Turned To Hopelessness’ – Northern Elders Blasts Tinubu’s Govt

Prof. Usman Yusuf, a political analyst and member of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), claims that since President Bola Tinubu took office, his administration has increased the level of hopelessness among Nigerians instead of giving them some hope.

Yusuf, a former National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) executive secretary, was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics show.

“People have lost hope. It pains me to see our people lining up to collect cups of palliatives. Renewed Hope has turned into hopelessness. People have lost hope,” Yusuf said.

Yusuf said “the last one year has been a year of nothing but deception, destitution and hopelessness”.

“From next week, they will start telling us their propaganda,” the NEF member continued. “What have they done to benefit the ordinary people?
