Tinubu’s Leadership Disappoints, Says ADC National Chairman
The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s leadership style, saying it fails to reflect the democratic ideals of MKO Abiola, despite Tinubu’s background as a NADECO chieftain.
Speaking at the commissioning of the ADC secretariat in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nwosu expressed disappointment over the fuel price hike and other economic hardships since Tinubu assumed office.
He argued that Tinubu’s actions contradict the democratic principles that Abiola fought for and that the president’s “palliative government” approach would fail.
Nwosu’s comments were made during the commissioning of the “June 12 Youth Members Office”, a secretariat named in honor of the annulled June 12, 1993, election.
He emphasized that true democracy has yet to be achieved in Nigeria, despite the sacrifices made by Abiola and others.
Then we used to say June 12 can’t be waste away but the significance continues, June 12 is a memorable Day, just like Martin Luther King in America when people say it can’t be possible now it is possible, and freedom for people.
“The son of Ogun state was sacrificed so that Democracy would rain, and it took about 25 years, for a NADECO chieftain to become president of Democratic Nigeria.
“It surprised me that when he got to the office the very first thing to do was to say 400% more on fuel, and fuel is what affects all aspects of the economy. And started fumbling, that there would be palliative, nobody does a palliative government, it would fail, and it is already failing”.
“When people are been given palliative and people in government are buying Yatch, that is what we need to expose, although the truth is bitter, it must be said, that when the economy of the country goes down, everything will go down and we all be affected”.
Meanwhile, the Inter-party Advisory Council Chairman of Ogun State Comrade Abayomi Sanyaolu commended the effort of IPAC for the giant stride.
He noted that it was part of the agitation of the IPAC that all political parties must have a standard office to use, adding that other political parties should emulate good work.
Also, the Ogun state Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Hon. Itunu Abioro appreciated all his party members for their support and commitment.
He urged them to keep the comradeship spirit as it would earn them good results in the forthcoming election.
The event was attended by various party leaders, including the Ogun State Chairman of the ADC, National Chairman, ADC Mr Ralph Nwosu National Secretary, Alhaji Babasai Abdullahi Dr. Chukwuka, Presidential candidate 2023.
