FG Defends Tinubu’s Tough Decisions

The Federal Government has defended the difficult decisions taken by President Bola Tinubu’s administration since it came into office in 2023. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said the government decided to tackle some of the country’s long-standing problems instead of pushing them forward.

Idris spoke on Thursday during a ministerial briefing in Abuja ahead of Nigeria’s 66th Independence celebration. He admitted that the decisions were difficult and had caused real hardship for many Nigerians. According to him, however, the country is now gradually moving from the difficult period of reforms and stabilisation towards economic growth.

He said Nigeria’s real Gross Domestic Product grew by 4.43 per cent, compared with 4.23 per cent in the previous year. He also pointed to increased foreign reserves, expanded domestic refining capacity and growing investment activities.

Idris added that the Central Bank Governor had announced that Nigeria’s foreign reserves had crossed $55 billion for the first time in 18 years.

I don't see Chris Iyovwaye, the Delta state guber candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ready for the battle ahead of him with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. No, I don't. And I have my reasons. Delta state is a stronghold of these power mongers. They have seized the state. So, coming from no where and campaigning for the governorship of Delta state will be a very Herculean task.

Power Is Not a Family Property

Why are some African leaders still staying in power for many years? This is a question we need to ask ourselves as Africans. Public office is supposed to be a place to serve the people, not a seat that belongs to one person or one family. In Nigeria, a president is elected for four years and can seek another four-year term, but the second term is not automatic. The people still have the right to decide whether that person should return. But sometimes, it looks as if political power has become a personal property. Once some leaders finish their first term, the next four years can begin to look like something they must complete. This can make citizens feel that there is no real choice.
