The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights says it is unhappy about the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s performance so far.
The CDHR stated this on Wednesday during a press briefing by its National President, Debo Adeniran, in Lagos.
Adeniran said: “We as activists are not happy with the President’s performance so far. During his campaign, we believed so much in him going by his antecedents as one of those that spearheaded the PRONACO in those days.
“We thought his reign would bring succor and relief to the people especially as we missed that golden opportunity during the June 12 election, but the reverse is the case right now.
“We would like to call on the President to explore the possibility of reaching out to more professionals even outside his cabinet so that his policies and programmes can have a more beneficial effect on the populace”.
