In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Agbonayinma, known as EJ, dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu is responsible for the country’s economic difficulties. He criticized previous administrations, alleging that billions of dollars were stolen by influential figures during President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure and other past administrations.

Agbonayinma argued that corruption is the root cause of Nigeria’s problems, claiming it has deeply affected the nation. He emphasized that fighting corruption requires a collective effort from all Nigerians, noting that while corruption is a global issue, Nigeria’s situation is particularly severe.

He highlighted recent improvements under President Tinubu’s administration, such as infrastructure projects and development initiatives. Agbonayinma expressed confidence in the APC’s readiness for the September 21 election, criticizing the incumbent governor for failing to address infrastructure and flooding issues in Edo State.

He contended that the electorate’s dissatisfaction with the current administration would benefit the APC’s candidate. Agbonayinma also criticized Governor Godwin Obaseki’s endorsement of certain candidates, pointing out perceived failures in addressing local development issues.
