The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has criticized President Bola Tinubu-led government as it marks one year in office.

According to NNPP, in its s one-year assessment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, it noted with dismay that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the government was not yielding the desired benefits, rather it has inflicted untold hardship on the people.

In a statement by the national publicity secretary, Oladipo Johnson, the NNPP urged the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency, review its economic policies to align with the prevailing sufferings of the people and boost productivity in the country.

The party noted economic indicators and performance index of the economy were not giving Nigerians any hope.

It stressed that Nigerians are not feeling the impact of government on their daily well-being.

“The renewed hope now looks like a feeble orchestration, hope is dimming,” the statement read.

“As reported by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), inflation now stands at 33.69 per cent, highest in 28 years and food inflation at 40.53 per cent in April. This is not comforting in any way.”

It also highlighted the fiscal crisis being experienced till date, saying the devaluation of the naira and the resort to huge borrowing from local and foreign institutions should be carefully reviewed in tandem with the effects on the economy and the need for prudent management of resources.

NNPP called for a substantial reduction in the cost of governance and a clear eye on leakages, corruption and accountability, just as it also charged the government to prioritise its spending to reflect prevailing realities rather than wasteful expenditures.

“While education and health in particular are underfunded, we can see much wasteful application of scarce resources in less important activities which suggest misplaced priorities.”

The NNPP also expressed concerns that dozens of manufacturing companies that have now left the country.

The party noted the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) said 367 companies stopped production activities from December 2023 and that among those still in business, 335 are in distress, while N350 billion worth of goods were not sold.

It urged President Tinubu to intervene in the ongoing emirate crisis in Kano State.

“In our candid opinion, the last year has been a nightmare for Nigerians who are now poorer amidst poverty, hunger, and untold suffering.

“Government said it is renewing hope but this has to translate into tangible deliverables to hedge against the prevailing hunger and starvation among the populace.

“Regrettably, the unrelenting dire security situation in the country is worsening the concerns of the people and this should be a priority to the government as we call for a drastic review of policies and programmes of the administration.

“We cannot end this appraisal piece without advising the Tinubu administration to focus more on governance and avoid unnecessary distractions like the ongoing intervention of the Federal Government in the emirship stool in Kano, which is purely a state affair according to the 1999 Constitution as amended.


“President Tinubu should warn his appointed officials to allow him to concentrate on the things he was elected into office for instead of engaging in frivolities of politicking.

“Instead of deploying soldiers to provide cover for someone constitutionally removed from office, such soldiers should be deployed to confront terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, armed robbers, and others who are making life difficult for Nigerians.

“Nigerians deserve better than what they are experiencing now.”

Chat me up on session to purchase your CC today..... Sure Plug

Shame on every man and woman who cast his vote for Tinubu.
You can see how impactful your choices have been.

Ok

Save Nigeria somebody.

If there's any word worse than Nightmare!

crentina:
Everyday we lament but no action.

What would you rather have people do?

The people expressed themselves through the election, and the mandate was clearly snatched!

Do we go to war?

Them go soon collect Una Kano state weh don deh make Una gather mouth to talk....

But this is how Northerners play their politics... Form a force and oppose while waiting for negotiation.

If this force gain too much attention.... They will merged with APC as PDP is planning to merge with LP.

I believe the next election will be very interesting because Tinubu is a real politician and Peter Obi has lots of recognition.

My choice will be Tinubu. I believe that the North wants to use this medium to share presidency between the SouthWest and the SouthEast. But they will not share theirs between the NorthWest and Central or NorthEast.

Clueless natural disaster.

APC is a cvrse to Nigeria.

...
Funny enough, he's just getting started

Well, it's true but handle the nightmare consuming Kano Emirate at the moment with care

Everyone knows but in the midst of it all I and my family shall flourish. Amen.

APC has almost destroyed all the fabrics of the Nation... Akpabio destroyed Senate house, Ganduje the dollar thief destroying the country's image, Tinubu is Incompetent, Bayo Ononuga is confused, dishing nonsense stateme, the Judiciary is nothing to write home about.
Wicked leaders.

in addition, big big big shame on all the paid miscreants here on nairaland who sing the praises of this disastrous government to high heavens simply to earn a paltry sum of money. Everyone of you should hide in your closet and weep your eyes out while begging God for forgiveness. Awon oniranu.

I agree

Truer words have never been used！kudos to NNPP.

A satanic and calamitous one year.
