Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has expressed doubts about the ability of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to improve the situation for Nigeria’s suffering masses.
Speaking on Channels Television’s *Politics Today* on Monday, the former presidential candidate and veteran journalist shared his concerns, stating that he doesn’t see hope for Nigeria under the current government.
Momodu’s remarks came as he discussed the state of the nation, the harsh economic conditions, and the government’s promises to bring positive change.
Recently, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu, reassured Nigerians that the federal government was making efforts to improve living conditions and reshape the nation’s economic narrative.
However, Momodu dismissed such assurances, noting that he has heard similar promises from politicians for years, and remains unconvinced by the rhetoric.
“I’ve lived long enough in this country called Nigeria. I’ve listened to all the sweet talks by politicians. I have yet to see the sign of that light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
“But I’m not going to argue with them. I wish them the best of luck because I want Nigeria to be good. It’s not in my interest for Nigeria to collapse.
“If they do it well, Nigerians will applaud them but if they don’t, those coming after them will also tell them the same thing they’re talking about Buhari now.
“At my age, I’m almost giving up on anything happening from them because we can see the signs. I doubt that much will come out of what is going on because even the people surrounding the President, most of them are not ready for the change.”
