The Yoruba Union, Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, has urged Nigerians to take a stand against what it terms the violation of fundamental rights by security forces operating under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.

In a Democracy Day statement signed by Convener Olusola Badero and released Thursday through Assistant General Secretary Elder Akinola, the group expressed deep concern over the current administration’s governance.

They accused President Tinubu of steering the nation into deeper economic turmoil, widespread insecurity, and increased authoritarianism.

The union called for Tinubu’s resignation, asserting that his administration lacks the vision and capacity to address the country’s growing crises.

They condemned a series of harsh policy decisions such as the scrapping of fuel subsidies, the weakening of the Naira, rising tuition costs, electricity tariff increases, and excessive banking charges.
