Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a senior Advocate of Nigeria says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has failed Nigerians.
Adegboruwa disclosed this on Wednesday while reacting to the Christmas Eve killing of over 100 per cent in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi local government areas, LGAs Plateau State.
According to him, the revelation by the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, that over 64 communities in the state have been taken over and inhabited permanently by terrorists for well over two years running is a loud confirmation of the lack of transparency on the part of leaders in dealing with the people.
He noted that the federal government’s primary responsibility is the security of the people but the Tinubu administration has not lived up to expectations in this regard.
“The recent gruesome killings in Plateau State prove beyond doubt that governance has failed in Nigeria. Since May 29, 2023, when the President took over the mantle of leadership, the fortunes of Nigerians have dwindled, and life generally has become uncertain and hellish. The verdict on the streets of Port-Harcourt, Kaduna, Uyo, Onitsha, Gombe, Abuja, Lagos, Enugu, Makurdi, Lokoja and indeed all parts of the country is that this particular government has failed Nigerians.
“Under and by virtue of section 14 (2) (a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, the people’s security and welfare shall be the government’s primary purpose.
“Quite apart from the failure in security, the Tinubu administration has imposed suffering and mass hunger and poverty upon the people through failed economic policies that have led to inflation and mass suffering. The mantra of the so-called Renewed Hope has only been employed to lure our people into slumber. At the same time, the leaders go on living in luxury and affluence, and the youths and citizens are left to seek greener pastures in foreign lands in the name of JAPA.
“The President has had enough time to convince Nigerians about his determination to improve their lives. However, no tangible change has occurred since his inauguration beyond propaganda and the usual press releases that address nothing. If there is no genuine programme to lift Nigerians out of the present economic woes, let the President do what is necessary by resigning”, he stated.
Recall that Governor Mutfwang had disclosed that the death toll of the Christmas Eve attacks rose to 115 on Tuesday.
President Tinubu, reacting to the incident on Tuesday, directed security agencies to move in immediately, scour every stretch of the zone, and apprehend the culprits.
