A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dele Momodu has expressed doubts over the capacity of the Bola Tinubu administration to turn things around for the good of the suffering masses.
The former presidential candidate and veteran journalist
said he does not see the light at the end of the tunnel for Nigeria.
Appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday,
Momodu was speaking on the state of the nation and the current economic
realities and the government’s promises to turn things around.
DAILY POST reports that the Minister of Budget Planning,
Atiku Bagudu had recently said that the federal government was working hard to
turn things around and to change the narrative, adding that efforts were being
made to change the living condition of Nigerians.
However, Momodu said that such promises and sweet talks from
politicians and political leaders were not new to him as he had listened to
them over and over again.
“I’ve lived long enough in this country called Nigeria. I’ve
listened to all the sweet talks by politicians. I have yet to see the sign of
that light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
“But I’m not going to argue with them. I wish them the best
of luck because I want Nigeria to be good. It’s not in my interest for Nigeria
to collapse.
“If they do it well, Nigerians will applaud them but if they
don’t, those coming after them will also tell them the same thing they’re
talking about Buhari now.
“At my age, I’m almost giving up on anything happening from
them because we can see the signs. I doubt that much will come out of what is
going on because even the people surrounding the President, most of them are
not ready for the change.”
