A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has called out the administration of President Bola Tinubu for inflicting hardship on Nigerians.
The APC chieftain said Tinubu is not implementing the objectives of the APC but has chosen to implement his personal dreams.
He submitted that the APC owes Nigerians an apology for bringing Tinubu to power, stating that the citizens deserve better leadership.
Eze, in a statement made available to newsmen, also criticized the President’s speech on Sunday regarding the nationwide protest against hunger and bad governance in Nigeria, describing it as shallow and grossly out of tune with reality.
He said Tinubu was elected to make the country better, but the President has chosen to run a flamboyant administration while most Nigerians battle with hunger.
“The president, in his broadcast, overlooked critical issues constituting a clog and stunting the growth of our country and her people such as high cost of governance, corruption, judicial rascality, corrupt electoral umpire, hunger, unemployment, harsh impact of fuel subsidy removal, armed banditry and general insecurity, high cost of living and more. So the broadcast seeks to discredit the substance of the ongoing protests and therefore rings hollow,” Eze said.
Eze submitted that President Tinubu has isolated himself from the objectives of the APC, a party founded on the ideals of a united, prosperous Nigeria.
“I must state that what Tinubu is currently superintending is not the vision of APC that most of us risked our lives to bring to be.
“We never brought APC to visit Nigeria and Nigerians with the level of hunger pervading our nation and warranting citizens to resort to suicide as the last resort to escaping the hardship neither did we bring APC to visit Nigeria and Nigerians with the level of insecurity that has enveloped us to such an extent where it becomes suicidal for farmers to go to their farms for whatever purpose.
“We never envisaged that our common effort to bring APC to salvage Nigeria will be so corrupted by the inordinate ambition of Tinubu to foist himself on the country as president and on this footing we owe Nigerians an unreserved apology. Our beloved country has turned to a laughing stock before the international community as most countries now advise their citizens to be wary of traveling to Nigeria.”
Eze accused the Tinubu government of promoting corruption and queried the justification for spending over 21 billion Naira to build a house for the Vice President in the midst of the thriving hardship, as if the VP was homeless.
He also accused government officials under the current administration indulging in fanfare of squander mania, leaving the ordinary people in squalor without a hint of remorse.
