The failure of President Bola Tinubu's economic policies has sparked reactions from ordinary Nigerians and members of the political class. His economic policies, which began with the removal of the fuel subsidy in May 2023, have also elicited responses from members of his party.

While others have refrained from criticizing the president or the party, a former National Vice Chairman, North-West, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, believes the President may be headed towards being worse than former President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, governance under him is currently deteriorating under his leadership.

In a statement he signed, the former APC Vice Chairman lamented that the past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari was worse than that of Goodluck Jonathan.

He noted that the same fate may befall whoever becomes President in 2027.

According to Lukman: “If APC is defeated in 2027, what is the guarantee that the new government to emerge post President Asiwaju Tinubu will not be worse?

“As Nigerians, we are witnesses of how governments at all levels progressively become worse.

“With all the confidence many of us had in former President Muhammadu Buhari, arguably his performance failed to meet public expectations, perhaps worse than former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Certainly, President Asiwaju Tinubu is on track to becoming worse than former President Buhari.”
