A former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has declared that President Tinubu was on a roller-coaster race to become Nigeria’s most clueless president.
Eze was reacting to a piece in circulation titled “Atiku Would’ve Plunged Nigeria Into Worse Economic Situation,” credited to Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Eze said, “It is, at least, fair, that the official spokesman of the president has admittedly confided in Nigerians that the country is not better but in shambles under the current regime.”
He added that it is totally debasing and an affront for Onanuga to aim at comparing the administration of Obasanjo/Atiku “to the current confused, aimless, and visionless government, which has continued to unleash hardship on Nigerians.”
He added, “Honestly, Onanuga goofed in his futile attempt to justify the shenanigans currently going on in Nigeria, occasioned by Tinubu’s anti-people policies, which have plunged Nigeria into the poverty capital of the world. There’s no basis for Onanuga’s rant, except for the fact that he wrote to justify his pay as a media hireling.
“It beats one’s imagination that Onanuga decided to pour invectives on Atiku because of a president that has made every Nigerian, both rich and poor, unable to have one good square meal a day.
“Today, Nigerians are dying in droves, and those who survive are committing suicide because of the managerial ineptitude of one man.
“Let the truth be told, no other Nigerian, including Atiku, would have plunged this nation into the mess that Tinubu has driven this nation to. Tinubu is clueless. He had no plans, so the failures of his administration are not matters of surprise to the populace.
“Today, this administration runs on borrowed money, while the administration of Obasanjo/Atiku was paying off our debts to international financial institutions and offering grants to some African states.
“Atiku would not have subscribed to the nepotistic tendencies that have become the driving force of the current regime. A government that runs on the idea of one region manning all sensitive security and economic positions.”
