Daniel Bwala, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has voiced skepticism regarding the current administration of President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that it might follow a trajectory similar to its predecessor.
Bwala, who served as the spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, conveyed his apprehensions during an interview on Channels TV on Monday.
Drawing parallels with the early years of President Buhari’s administration, Bwala highlighted the familiar narrative of urging Nigerians to be patient and wait for positive changes.
He emphasized that, despite being 31.8 percent into his first term, President Tinubu has yet to manifest substantial improvements, contending that the sufferings of Nigerians have only escalated during this period.
“The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term, which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has,” Bwala remarked.
“When President Buhari took over in 2015, it was the same language, and we patiently followed, and he finished the first term and finished the second term.”
Bwala raised a critical point about the perceived ineffectiveness of prolonged timelines, asserting, “When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work.”
He went on to reference economists who have scrutinized the President’s budget and expressed reservations about its capacity to deliver the outlined agenda effectively.
“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” Bwala asserted, encapsulating the sentiment of a populace eager for tangible outcomes rather than rhetorical assurances.
The PDP chieftain’s comments reflect a broader sentiment among citizens who are growing increasingly impatient with promises that seem to yield limited results.
Bwala’s emphasis on the need for visible progress and concrete accomplishments resonates with a public that is grappling with various challenges, from economic hardships to concerns about policy efficacy.
As President Tinubu navigates the complexities of governance, the scrutiny of his administration’s performance continues to intensify.
The call for transparency, accountability, and measurable achievements becomes louder, shaping the expectations of a nation eager for meaningful change. Only time will reveal the trajectory of the Tinubu administration and whether it can address the pressing concerns raised by individuals like Daniel Bwala.
