The Labour Party (LP) caucus in the House of Representatives has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s one year in office, describing it as one filled with poverty and underdevelopment, News About Nigeria reports.
The Caucus leader, Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, while marking the first anniversary of the Tinubu-led administration.
He noted that the past year has been characterised by enormous economic hardships, insecurity, and hopelessness, which is opposed to the Renewed Hope Agenda campaign promises of the current administration.
According to him, the economy of the nation has dangerously continued on a free fall, one year after the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu.
He said that it has raised doubts in the minds of the people concerning the capacity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government to rescue the nation from the current situation.
He maintained that it is not a good omen, especially after the past eight years of the previous administration, which he said brought widespread despair to Nigerians.
“After last year’s glitch-determined presidential election, and the legal gymnastics which ratified the indolent behaviour of the electoral umpire, our Caucus had taken a backseat, in the patriotic hope that, maybe, just maybe, the beneficiary administration would be able to wrought magic and pull the nation from the precipice of economic annihilation.
“But, as can be obviously felt by the blind, and seen by the deaf, the entire country has, after one year, come to a full and unambiguous understanding of what President Bola Tinubu meant, when he said that his administration would continue with the ‘legacies’ of his predecessor,” the statement reads in part.
