Daniel Bwala, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed concerns about the trajectory of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, drawing parallels with his predecessor.
Bwala highlighted the similarity to the previous situation where Nigerians were urged to be patient during the Buhari administration’s eight-year tenure, which seemingly resulted in minimal progress.
Emphasizing the current scenario, Bwala pointed out that Tinubu has already utilized 31.8 percent of his first term, lamenting that rather than bringing about positive changes, the administration has contributed to an escalation of hardships for Nigerians.
“When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work,” Bwala, who was the spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, said on Channels TV on Monday.
“The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has.
“He has less than 70 percent time in government, when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015 it was the same language and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term.
“When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work. Most of the economists I’ve listened to have faulted the President’s budget with which he was supposed to deliver the agenda flat-out…
“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” he said.
