Tinubu’s Government Prioritizing Electoral Campaigns Over National Issues Is A Huge Shame – ACF

Bola Tinubu

Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has come out to blast the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for prioritising 2027 campaign over national problems.

The group recently slammed the ruling party for obessessing with early campaigns and defections when the country is on fire, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is a complete shame to see how there has been no reaction to the insensitivity of public officials to the plight of ordinary citizens, whose living conditions continue to deteoriorate.

He then hailed Nigerians for celebrating occasions like Eid despite their ongoing struggles, stressing that it is proof of their commendable resilience.

It read, “A most perverse illustration of reckless profligacy of public expenditure has been the revelation about insertions in the 2025 federal budget, for the provision of streetlights at a staggering and unimaginable costs of over N260 million each.

That there has to date been no official denial of such crassly reckless and surreal insertions attests to the insensitivity of public officials and political representatives to the plight of ordinary Nigerians, whose living conditions continue to deteriorate all round.

Going by precedent, such budgetary insertions are replicated in various ways at state level. As ACF observed a year ago, the existential challenges above are symptomatic of fundamental malaise in the political economy calling for urgent public policy attention.

Delusional hubris and head-in-the-sand claims continue to characterise pronouncement by officials charged with responsibilities for security in contrast to cries of state governors on ground in locations. Such obsessions and claims only ignore or give blind eyes to possible mass disillusionment, despair, discontent, hopelessness and angst of the populace.

That Nigerians continue to endure and could even celebrate occasions such as the Eid is a telling testament to their admirable resilience, which ought not to be taken for granted.”

WOW.
