A PROMINENT chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Adamu Maina Waziri, has launched a scathing critique of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing it as a “disastrous catastrophe” that has performed worse than the much-maligned government of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking in an interview on Trust Television, Waziri expressed deep concern over what he described as Nigeria’s steady descent into economic hardship, insecurity, and national disunity under Tinubu’s watch.
“If the Buhari government was a failure, the Tinubu government in the last two years is a disastrous catastrophe,” Waziri declared. “It has failed in all ramifications, and the country has regressed.”
Waziri pointed to worsening security challenges, a collapsing economy, and rising ethnocentrism as evidence of the administration’s failures. He argued that the present leadership has not only failed to build on past efforts but has deepened the nation’s problems.
“The economy is collapsing, ethnocentrism is at an all-time high, and insecurity continues to ravage many states,” he said.
The former minister accused Tinubu’s government of lacking national direction and failing to unite the country, warning that Nigeria has become increasingly fragile and polarised.
“Under this government, Nigeria has lost its compass. We are more divided, more fragile, and there is no clear path forward,” Waziri lamented.
He also questioned the sincerity of public figures who publicly endorse the administration while their own communities suffer from insecurity and lawlessness.
“I am surprised that people whose local governments are under the control of bandits can appear on national television to endorse this government,” he stated.
Waziri urged Nigerians to critically evaluate the government’s performance beyond curated media appearances and political endorsements.
“Nigerians must look beyond staged media appearances and assess whether their lives have improved in the last two years. The facts on the ground tell a different story.”
He concluded by cautioning that an administration responsible for such national decline lacks the moral grounds to seek reelection.
