Tinubu’s government a disaster – Former Minister of Police Affairs

Alhaji Adamu Maina Waziri, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Minister of Police Affairs, has delivered a scathing critique of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, labeling it a “complete disaster”.

He opined that it has fallen short even compared to the heavily criticized tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking in an interview with Trust Television, Waziri voiced serious concerns about Nigeria’s current state of governance, warning that the country is heading into worsening turmoil under Tinubu’s leadership.

“If the Buhari government was a failure, the Tinubu government in the last two years is a disastrous catastrophe,” he said, adding that, “It has failed in all ramifications, and the country has regressed.”

He mentioned escalating insecurity, deepening economic hardship, and a surge in corruption as clear signs of the administration’s shortcomings.

“The economy is collapsing, ethnocentrism is at an all-time high, and insecurity continues to ravage many states,” he added.

Waziri contended that under President Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria has lost its national direction, becoming increasingly fragile and divided. He also cast doubt on the genuineness of those who still publicly back the administration, especially people from areas plagued by intense violence.

He said …

“I am surprised that people whose local governments are under the control of bandits can appear on national television to endorse this government.”

Calling for a more candid evaluation of the government’s performance, Waziri appealed to Nigerians to see past curated media appearances and staged endorsements. According to him, “a government that has presided over national decline in every sector cannot credibly seek reelection.”
