A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dele Momodu has expressed doubts over the capacity of the Bola Tinubu administration to turn things around for the good of the suffering masses.
The former presidential candidate and veteran journalist said he does not see the light at the end of the tunnel for Nigeria.
Speaking during Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, Momodu was speaking on the state of the nation and the current economic realities and the government’s promises to turn things around.
The Minister of Budget Planning, Atiku Bagudu had recently said that the federal government was working hard to turn things around and to change the narrative, adding that efforts were being made to change the living condition of Nigerians.
However, Momodu said that such promises and sweet talks from politicians and political leaders were not new to him as he had listened to them over and over again.
“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.”
