According to Afenifere, the absence of subsidies in the last budget during Buhari’s tenure paved the wa the abrupt removal of fuel subsid BET the current administration.
In a joint statement signed by Afenifere’ s publicity and organizing secretaries, Jare Ajayi and Kole Omololu, respectively, the group criticized the previous administration for leaving behind economic challenges for the incumbent government.

Buhari Together With Former CBN Governor, Emefiele Laid Foundation For Current Hardships, Economic Crisis – Afenifere
Afenifere alleged that during Buhari’ s tenure, economic mismanagement was rampant, with the CBN accused of printing trillions of naira through unconventional means. They also claimed that crucial economic decisions, including subsidy removal, were delayed until the final year of Buhari’ s presidency, creating a financial minefield for the incoming administration. The group commended the current President, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, for swiftly discontinuing the subsidy regime upon assuming office and deregulating the foreign exchange market. However, they cautioned that the beneficiaries of the old order might resist change, making governance challenging.
Afenifere proposed several measures to address the economic and security crises, including the establishment of a robust Ministry of Information to communicate government plans effectively, realignment of the National Assembly budget, and the implementation of agricultural policies to promote food security. They also advocated for stringent measures against banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism, as well as a return to true fiscal federalism with state police and state ownership of mineral resources.
In conclusion, Afenifere emphasized the
Importance of unity and peaceful coexistence in navigating Nigeria’ s current challenges, warning against any attempts to destabilize the nation. They reaffirmed their commitment to defending democracy and promoting accountability in governance.
