MY PERSONAL REVIEW OF PRESIDENT TINUBU'S BROADCAST BY OLUBUNMI OLUWADARE

MY PERSONAL REVIEW OF PRESIDENT TINUBU'S BROADCAST

Positive aspects of the speech-

1.President Tinubu showed empathy, concern, and sympathy, acknowledging the voices of Nigerian youths, which is a fatherly approach.

Mr President challenges. 

He is fighting on all fronts. 

- Oil cabals.

- Forex cabals.

- Bank cabals.

- Electricity cabals.

- Anti LG Autonomy cabals.

May PBAT succeed.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬

However, the speech had its drawbacks-

1. It seemed like a defensive report from his team, justifying their poor performance after one year in office.

2.Despite highlighting impressive figures and initiatives, it lacked a comprehensive and sustainable master plan.

3. The funds allocated for SMEs are unclear, with no testimony from beneficiaries.

4. The emphasis on substantial funds spent without tangible impact raises concerns.

5. Significant revenues collected by state and local governments without corresponding development outcomes is troubling.

6. The proposal to use CNG to power vehicles seems like a piecemeal solution.

It's time for President Tinubu to reassess his team and inject fresh perspectives for meaningful change.

Nigerians expect-

1. Cuts in governance costs, starting from the Federal Government and agencies

2. Tangible plans to end hunger, with timelines

3. A state of emergency declaration on food inflation, with a stated plan and timeline

4. A state of emergency declaration to assure farmers, securing farm hubs, and encouraging them to return to farming.

5. An open-door policy governance approach going forward.

6. A state of emergency declaration on food security, with clear timelines.

7. A state of emergency declaration on unemployment, embracing massive entrepreneurship development across Nigeria

The speech seems like a justification from a failed team pushing a narrative that's not working.

 Questions remain: where are the tractors and farming equipments ordered from abroad going, and who will use them?

Advice for the Protesters.

The time has come for protesters to channel their energies into constructive dialogue with the government, presenting viable solutions for a better Nigeria.

 This approach is crucial for maintaining peace and stability in our fragile nation.

 We must be vigilant against communist elements that may attempt to exploit peaceful protests and escalate them into violence, looting, or even war. 

To achieve good governance, it is essential that we engage our political leaders on all levels and fronts.(Federal, State & Local Governments)

Good governance is not rocket science. 

This is my personal opinion.
