Our expectations from Tinubu in 2025 — Ondo residents
With the New Year unfolding, the people of Ondo State expressed concern on Wednesday about what shape 2025 will take, considering the hardships faced in the past 2024.
According to some of the residents of the state, the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu hurt their socio-economic well-being.
The economic atmosphere of the country took a sharp downturn in 2024, with inflation surging and the cost of living soaring, leaving many grappling with financial challenges.
Most impacted by the inflation were food items, transportation, and healthcare, among others, as some Nigerians could hardly afford them with out-of-pocket payments.
While harping on policies with a human face, a trader at Odopetu market in Akure, the state capital, Gift Adeniyi, stated: “We understand that changes are necessary, but they should be done with a human face.
“We are suffering, and any new policies should consider the realities we face daily, particularly us who survive on daily income.”
Another resident of the state, Lekan Adubiaro, who is a civil servant, lamented that urgent measures must be taken against the rising costs of living in the country.
“Hope is fading, and without tangible support, many will lose faith in the government. I can’t lie; there is hunger in the land, and many are at the moment in a state of confusion,” he said.
However, Tinubu had assured Nigerians that the policies will, in the year 2025, begin to yield the desired results.

Suspect in New Orleans truck ramming identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar
The suspect responsible for the deadly truck ramming attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen.
Authorities confirmed that Jabbar was carrying an ISIS flag in his vehicle, leading the FBI to investigate his potential affiliations with terrorist organisations.
DAILY POST had reported that the attack, which occurred early Wednesday morning, killed at least 10 people and injured 30 others.
Jabbar drove a truck into a crowd of New Year’s revellers in the French Quarter, a popular tourist area. During the chaos, police engaged the suspect in a gunfight, resulting in his death.
Authorities also discovered potential homemade bombs in the vehicle and scattered throughout the French Quarter.
FBI Special Agent Alethea Duncan confirmed that Jabbar was believed to be a US Army veteran, stating that he was likely honourably discharged.
Investigators are working to confirm his military background and determine any other connections.
Additionally, authorities indicated that Jabbar may not have acted alone.
“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible,” Duncan said at a press conference.
