Dele Momodu: I See No Hope for Nigeria Under Tinubu’s Government
Dele Momodu, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a well-known journalist, has voiced his concerns about the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
According to Momodu, he has little hope that the suffering and economic challenges in Nigeria will improve under Tinubu’s leadership.
Momodu expressed his thoughts during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday. He shared his views on the state of the nation, touching on the country’s economic struggles and the promises made by the government to improve the situation.
His comments reflect a growing sense of frustration among some Nigerians who feel that the government’s efforts have not yet translated into real progress.
The government, on its part, has continued to assure citizens that it is working to address these concerns. The Minister of Budget and Planning, Atiku Bagudu, recently stated that the federal government is doing everything possible to improve the living conditions of Nigerians.
Bagudu stressed that efforts are being made to “turn things around” and that the government is determined to change the negative narrative.
However, Momodu remains skeptical. He explained that he has heard such promises from politicians for many years, but has yet to see tangible improvements.
“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.”
