Kola Olgbondiyan, former national publicity secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says President Bola Tinubu’s administration is
overwhelmed.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday
night, Ologbondiyan advised the president to seek for help in tackling the
country’s enormous challenges.
He said the scale of corruption being witnessed under the
leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) never occurred under the PDP.
“The Peoples Democratic Party emanates from the people
themselves. It is the party that belongs to the people and the party is
representational of the views and opinions of the Nigerian people,”
Ologbondiyan said.
“Tinubu’s government is overwhelmed. It needs help. And I
have brought out the fact that in time past, that when the country finds
herself in a situation like this, the leadership goes out to look for those
Nigerians who have the ability and the capacity; the knowledge to make a
difference.
“You don’t sit in there and say you know it all and throw
the country into crisis.
“It is disturbing that within eight months, the president is
being mugged all over the social media for failure of policies.”
The former PDP spokesperson said the APC is being dishonest
for saying opposition parties are the ones sponsoring protests over economic
hardship in the country.
“They are being dishonest. And that is why Nigerians by
themselves are coming out to say that nobody is sponsoring… look, do you need
to sponsor hunger?
“Can anybody sponsor hunger? As we are seated here now, if
you and I are hungry, does it require the person out of here to tell us that we
are hungry?”
‘OSHIOMOLE PLAYING
POLITICS OF CONVENIENCE’
Adams Oshiomole, former governor of Edo state, while
speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, said Tinubu should
not be held responsible for the right or wrong decisions taken by the previous
administration.
He said Nigerians are still suffering the “consequences” of
the “reckless” policies of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Reacting, Ologbondiyan said the former Edo governor always
plays the politics of convenience.
“Comrade is always playing the politics of convenience. When
Buhari was in government, he said Jonathan was responsible for the pains. It
was convenient for him,” Ologbondiyan said.
“Now that Buhari is out of it and his friend Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu is in charge, he said it is Buhari. That is not honesty to the
people.
“And for a man who has been in the leadership of labour, I
would expect him to say look, we have a challenge.”

I think reversing subsidy removal alone and turning away from IMF policies on Naira can restore hope. Nigerians are giving all their earnings to transport sector either in moving self or goods from one place to another. The equation no balance
