Former House of Representatives member, Usman Bugaje, didn’t mince his words when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He delivered a scathing critique of President Bola Tinubu’s one-year-old administration, labeling it as tragic for Nigerians. According to Bugaje, not a single problem has been effectively solved under Tinubu’s leadership, with the government only adding to the nation’s woes. He emphasized the absence of measurable metrics for evaluating governance and called for a more structured approach to assessing leaders’ performance. Bugaje highlighted the alarming insecurity across Nigeria, citing recent incidents as evidence of the administration’s failure to ensure citizens’ safety. Furthermore, he criticized the government’s focus on financial allocations to states, urging it to address pressing issues rather than resorting to empty rhetoric. Overall, Bugaje’s assessment paints a bleak picture of Tinubu’s governance, characterized by ineffectiveness and a lack of solutions to the country’s pressing challenges.
