This assertion was made by a former speaker of the legislative assembly of the Ibadan South East Local Government Council, Hon. Tunde Yusuf.

''Visit the communities; people are suffering. People are begging to eat.

The government's poor performance has turned Nigerians into beggars.

Here in Oyo State, the local government does not exist.

Elected officeholders are nowhere to be found.

Hunger is the major discussion at the grass roots, where the illicit drug trade is booming.

At the bus stops everywhere, pick-pocketing is now the trend.'' Hon. Yusuf stated.
