"If I were to score him, I would definitely give him 2/10. The 2 is for the effort he has put into destroying the economy with his incompetent ministers and the governor of CBN," he said.

Why Obi or Atiku couldn't have performed better - Adeyanju

Asked if Tinubu's two major contenders in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, could have performed better if they were the president, Adeyanju said:

"I do not believe that Obi or Atiku could have done anything differently as the problem with Nigeria is more structural than what many people think it is."

Restructuring is what Nigeria needs - Adeyanju

The human rights activist said the solution to Nigeria's myriad of problems is restructuring.

He said:

"What the country needs is restructuring and sincere leadership. Once we have leaders who are genuinely sincere about the development of this country and not a means to enrich their pockets, only then will we have a working nation."
