The United Nigeria Front (UNF) has issued a strong condemnation of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, citing disastrous economic policies, escalating insecurity, widespread poverty, and a failure to deliver on critical promises to the Nigerian people.

In a statement released on Monday, the group accused the Tinubu-led government of implementing harsh and misguided economic strategies that have plunged millions into poverty, driven unemployment to new heights, and worsened the hunger crisis across the nation. “The administration’s policies have devastated small businesses, scared away direct foreign investment, and brought untold hardship to the ordinary Nigerian,” the group declared in the statement endorsed by the National Leader, Dr. Ben Ugwu.

UNF also drew attention to the persistent violence and killings in states such as Benue, Plateau, and Borno, criticizing the government’s inability to curb insecurity. “The blood of innocent Nigerians continues to be shed daily while the federal government remains ineffective and indifferent,” the statement read.

The group condemned what it called “the brazen violation of federal character principles” through lopsided appointments that favor certain regions at the expense of national unity. According to UNF, this approach has dangerously eroded trust among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic and religious groups.

Further highlighting the gravity of the situation, UNF expressed concern over the massive migration of Nigerian youths seeking better opportunities abroad. “The alarming rate at which our brightest talents are leaving the country is a damning indictment of a government that has utterly failed to inspire hope or create meaningful opportunities,” the group said.

On the government’s failure to implement meaningful developmental projects, UNF criticized the administration for its lack of vision and creativity. “Basic amenities like electricity, healthcare, clean water, and quality education remain inaccessible to most Nigerians. Instead of delivering on its promises, the government has overseen a continuous decline in the standard of living.”

The United Nigeria Front concluded by affirming its commitment to working with any individual or political platform genuinely dedicated to rebuilding the nation. “We are ready to align with all forces committed to improving basic infrastructure, uplifting the welfare of our people, and driving sustainable economic growth. Nigeria’s future must not be sacrificed on the altar of incompetence and indifference.”

The United Nigeria Front called for urgent, collective action to rescue the nation, warning that the current trajectory would only lead to further instability and suffering if unchecked.
