Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), has launched a scathing attack on President Bola Tinubu, describing him as the most clueless President Nigeria has ever had.
In response to a recent article by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, titled “Atiku Would’ve Plunged Nigeria Into Worse Economic Situation,” Eze accused the presidency of trying to cover up the mess of Tinubu’s administration by ridiculing Atiku Abubakar.
Eze’s statement emphasized that the presidency’s comparison of its administration to that of Obasanjo/Atiku is a debasing attempt to justify the failures of Tinubu’s regime.
Eze claimed that the presidency’s admission that Nigeria is not better off under the current regime is a clear indication of the administration’s ineptitude. He argued that Bayo Onanuga’s article was a futile attempt to justify the government’s anti-people policies, which have led to Nigeria’s status as the poverty capital of the world.
Eze also accused Onanuga of being a paid media hireling, motivated solely by his desire to justify his pay. He stated that it is unconscionable for Onanuga to attack Atiku while ignoring the numerous failures of Tinubu’s administration, which has made it impossible for Nigerians to afford a decent meal.
Eze lamented the state of the nation, where Nigerians are dying and committing suicide due to the managerial incompetence of Tinubu. He argued that no other Nigerian, including Atiku, would have led the country to such a state of despair.
Eze contrasted Tinubu’s administration with that of Obasanjo/Atiku, highlighting the former’s failure to pay off debts to international financial institutions and offer grants to other African states. He also criticized the current administration’s nepotistic tendencies, which have led to the dominance of one region in sensitive security and economic positions.
Eze cited several examples of the administration’s failures, including the frequent collapse of the national grid, the arrest and charging of minors for exercising their rights during the #EndBadGovernance protests, and the overall collapse of the economy.
Eze concluded by stating that only a failed leader like Tinubu would resort to such frivolous reactions to people’s expressions of their rights.
