Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has publicly criticized the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, expressing deep concern over the perceived lack of a comprehensive plan for governance. In a recent statement, Obasanjo highlighted the importance of strategic vision in leadership, questioning the effectiveness of an administration that appears to lack clear direction.
"Leadership without a plan is like a ship without a compass," Obasanjo stated during a public forum. He emphasized that the current economic challenges and security issues facing Nigeria require decisive and well-thought-out policies. "Citizens deserve a government that is proactive, not reactive. It is the duty of the president to provide a roadmap that addresses the pressing needs of the nation."
Obasanjo's remarks come at a time when many Nigerians are expressing frustration over the administration's handling of key issues such as unemployment, inflation, and national security. The former president called on Tinubu to engage with various stakeholders, including civil society and economic experts, to develop and communicate a clear governance strategy.
As Nigeria navigates these challenging times, Obasanjo urged the government to prioritize transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in its approach to governance. He warned that failure to do so could exacerbate existing challenges and undermine public trust in leadership.
