In a surprising revelation, the Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization group has taken to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle to share a statement attributed to the Governor of Bauchi State. The post reads: “I celebrated Tinubu’s election victory, but he has no plans for Nigerians.”
This bold statement has sent ripples across the political landscape, sparking intense conversations about the state of governance and the direction of Nigeria’s leadership under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Governor, who initially joined in celebrating Tinubu’s electoral triumph, now appears to express discontent with the administration’s policies and vision for the Nigerian people. While the exact context of the statement remains unclear, it highlights growing dissatisfaction among political figures, even those who previously extended goodwill to the president.
The timing of this declaration is particularly significant, as Nigeria grapples with economic challenges, rising insecurity, and the public’s increasing frustration with the government’s perceived lack of a coherent plan to address pressing issues.
This development comes amidst mounting criticism of Tinubu’s administration, with opposition voices questioning the effectiveness of its strategies. Grassroots movements like the Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization have been vocal in their demand for accountability and transparency, advocating for leadership that prioritizes the welfare of the people over political gains.
Observers believe that the Governor’s statement may reflect a broader sentiment among key stakeholders within the political class, signaling cracks in Tinubu’s support base. Meanwhile, supporters of the administration are expected to counter the criticism, citing ongoing initiatives aimed at tackling the nation’s challenges.
The public now awaits an official response from Bauchi’s Governor to clarify the context and implications of his remarks, as well as a reaction from the presidency. This moment underscores the intensifying political dynamics in Nigeria and the urgent need for decisive and inclusive governance.
As the conversation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether this statement will galvanize more voices to demand accountability or if it will simply fade into the tide of political discourse. One thing is clear: Nigerians are watching closely.
