A prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu, has expressed skepticism about the Bola Tinubu administration’s ability to improve the lives of Nigerians.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Momodu shared his doubts about the government’s capacity to turn things around, stating, “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”.
Momodu’s concerns come despite assurances from Minister of Budget Planning, Atiku Bagudu, that the federal government is working hard to change the narrative and improve living conditions for Nigerians.
However, Momodu remains unconvinced, having heard similar promises from politicians in the past. He emphasized that if the government succeeds, Nigerians will applaud them, but if they fail, they will face criticism from future generations, just like the current administration is criticizing Buhari’s government.
“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,” he stated.
