President Tinubu Has Nothing To Say To Nigerians – Baba-Ahmed

The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has described President Bola Tinubu as a failure. He recently had his say during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while criticising BAT’s administration over worsening insecurity, economic hardship and the impact of its policies on Nigerians.

Alleging that the president has nothing to say to Nigerians as the 2027 general election approaches, Baba-Ahmed questioned Tinubu’s reported decision to campaign only in specific places.

He concluded by wondering why BAT would not agree to meet Nigerians and explain the impact of his policies on their lives.

His words, “Tinubu inherited Nigeria, but what has he done with it? He inherited a poor country; he inherited weak institutions; he inherited poverty and insecurity. We don’t blame him, but he’s been in power for three and a half years. He is a failure.

Why doesn’t Tinubu commit himself to say, I will. I have the energy, I have the intention, I want to see Nigerians, I want Nigerians to see me, I want them to hear me explain why they are more hungry.

Yes, he has nothing to say to them, I’m telling you, he has nothing to say to Nigerians.

The reason why he said, Go, gentlemen, go and campaign for me. I will stay here in Abuja and run the country. You’re running the country now? For three and a half years, you didn’t run the country, now you remember that you are here to run the country?

He (Tinubu) made some tough decisions but they were anti-people decisions, a tough decision doesn’t have to be a good decision.

You talk about creating loans, that’s good, but do you know how many millions of children that can’t go to school under Tinubu’s watch in this country? Children who live in territories taken over by bandits, kidnappers, and who can’t go to school at all?

Security has gotten considerably worse, it has never been worse like this.

All these things you mentioned, this is the propaganda. Unfortunately, for Tinubu, Nigerians are not going to buy it. Children are not going to school, life is more insecure, life is harder.

He flashes all these statistics, he is saying, give me a second chance, even Tinubu will not say he made lives more better, what he will say is that yes, we are going through a difficult part, if you give me another four years, we will get better.

You said the microeconomics is good, those are statistics that they use and they will tell you, if you give me another four years, I will see them. Sir, if you knew you had four years within which you’ll embark on a profoundly influential policy, shouldn’t you look at it first of all and say, I’m going to have four years and if I embark on these policies, it will have major economic impacts.

A thinking president will say let me do one or two things first, because I will impoverish people and the cost of transportation is vital and central to everything.”
