A former Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying it has not done well in addressing the sufferings of Nigerians.
Suswam stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today, expressing his disappointment with the government’s economic policies.
Suswam said, “My assessments of this government, just like any other Nigerian, they have not done well at all, and I would say so because the indicators are all over the place.”
He explained that the government’s policies, such as devaluing the currency, removing subsidy on energy and transportation, and increasing the monetary policy rate, have had a negative impact on the people.
Suswam advised President Tinubu to focus on addressing the concerns of Nigerians rather than seeking re-election endorsements.
He said, “I don’t have any problem with a sitting president getting re-elected if all things are good.
” However, the President should address the people. He should forget about the sycophants who are endorsing him or about political parties.”
Meanwhile, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and the APC governors have endorsed President Tinubu for a second term, praising his performance.
Akpabio said, “If he has not done well, is it not we that will give him notice of impeachment?”
However, Suswam’s criticism highlights the ongoing debate about the government’s performance and its impact on Nigerians.
