Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has declared that President Bola Tinubu is gone.
Speaking in an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time show on Monday evening, El-Rufai shared his thoughts on President Tinubu’s leadership and the general dissatisfaction across several regions of Nigeria.
He noted that the president’s performance in key areas like security, the economy, and trade has fallen far below expectations.
El-Rufai said his party, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has conducted surveys in many parts of the country.
According to him, the results show that Tinubu’s government is widely disliked.
He said: “We have to ask the people to make up their minds, do you like what is happening? This is just two years. If your life has gotten better since Tinubu was sworn in on May 29, 2023 fine but if not why not give some other people a chance?
“We have done some polling in many parts of the country, particularly in the southeast and the north, President Tinubu has a 91% disapproval rating, even in Lagos he has a 78% disapproval rating.
“In States in the Southwest he is doing a bit better, Ondo and Ekiti, he is doing better with than 78 percent disapproval rating but there is nowhere he is doing better than 50% even in the Southwest.
“The guy is gone, he is performed miserably. The economy has stopped, the insecurity architecture has failed, there are no clear trade and investment policies, and everything is going wrong.
“They are raising lots of revenues but we don’t know where the revenues are going because there are no results.”
