Dele Momodu Doubts Tinubu’s Government Can Deliver on Promises
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.
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
