Nkumogu Obadiah Mbila, a public affairs analyst, criticized President Tinubu for his pre-election statement where he indicated his intention to continue from where President Buhari left off.
Mbila highlighted the suffering and pain that many Nigerians experienced under Buhari's leadership and expressed concern that Tinubu promised to advance it. He pointed out that despite significant resources being allocated to addressing insecurity, the situation has not improved.
Mbila further expressed disappointment in a leadership that has brought hunger and frustration to both the young and the old in the country. While he refrained from explicitly stating the negative aspects of the current administration, he suggested that the government's performance is lacking and could be improved.
In an interview with The Sun, Mbila said, "we cannot forget one clear pre-election statement President Tinubu made. He did say he would continue from where President Buhari stopped. No Nigerian in his or her good frame of mind wants to remember the suffering and pain Buhari brought to the country. But Tinubu promised to advance it, and that’s why insecurity is not abating despite the huge sums of money that has been channelled to confront it.
I cannot think anyone can rate a leadership that’s bringing hunger and frustration to the young and the old. However, I am not given to saying the negative, so I won’t say it about this administration. I believe therefore, that the government is not performing but can do better."
