A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has voiced his skepticism regarding the ability of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to significantly improve the lives of struggling Nigerians.

Dele Momodu, a well-known journalist and former presidential candidate, shared his concerns during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today where he discussed the nation’s economic situation and the government’s promises to bring about positive changes.

Momodu expressed his doubts about the likelihood of the current government achieving meaningful progress, pointing out that he does not see any clear path forward for Nigeria.

Despite the ongoing assurances from the administration, particularly from the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu, who recently emphasized that the federal government was working tirelessly to improve living conditions for Nigerians, Momodu remains unconvinced.

Bagudu had previously stated that efforts were being made to shift the country’s economic trajectory and improve the well-being of its citizens.

However, Momodu, having experienced various administrations and their promises, expressed little faith in the promises of this government.

He reflected on the many political speeches he has heard over the years, claiming that promises to transform the country have often led to disappointment.

He remarked that while he hopes for Nigeria to prosper, his experience has left him doubtful that any substantial progress will be made under the current leadership.

In his words, “I’ve been in this country long enough and heard numerous politicians make sweet promises. But, so far, I don’t see any indication of the promised light at the end of the tunnel.”

Momodu also pointed out that if the administration manages to successfully implement their plans, Nigerians would give them the recognition they deserve.

However, he warned that failure would lead to criticism similar to what former President Muhammadu Buhari now faces, as the new administration is blamed for its shortcomings.

He further noted that the individuals currently advising and working closely with Tinubu do not seem prepared for the substantial changes needed to address Nigeria’s pressing challenges.

He lamented, “I doubt much will come out of this because even those around the President appear ill-prepared for the necessary changes.”

Momodu’s critique highlights the widespread frustration many Nigerians feel regarding the country’s leadership and the seemingly endless cycle of promises with little visible progress.

Although he wishes for positive outcomes, his remarks reflect a broader sentiment of resignation among citizens who have witnessed repeated disappointments from past and present administrations.

While the government has assured the public of its commitment to improving the nation’s economy, many remain skeptical, especially as living conditions continue to deteriorate for the average Nigerian.
