Chukwuemeka Odumeje, a popular clergyman, has sparked outrage online after openly attacking President Bola Tinubu's administration and calling the current government's achievements into question.
Odumeje claimed during a church sermon that he could not identify a single substantial accomplishment of Tinubu's administration since it took office, saying that only members of the ruling party continue to laud the President.
“I don’t know the people celebrating Tinubu. Tell me one thing Tinubu has done since he entered government. The only thing I know Tinubu has done is secure APC to remain in charge of Nigeria. Only APC people are celebrating him,” he said.
The cleric also expressed unhappiness with the country's leadership, claiming that Nigerians had grown accustomed to substandard governance rather than expecting greater performance from elected officials.
Odumeje also cited Tinubu's campaign promise on energy, alleging the President promised to guarantee a reliable power supply throughout his first term.
“Tinubu promised us that once he entered government, give him four years and Nigeria would have 24-hour electricity. If it doesn’t happen, let him not be voted for a second term.
I don’t belong to any political party. I’m talking about good governance and leaders who can develop the nation they were elected to serve,” he added.
His comments elicited varied reactions online, with some Nigerians agreeing with his criticism of the government and others defending the President, arguing that reforms require time to generate results.
The statements have added to the continuing discussion over the performance of the Tinubu administration as Nigerians continue to express diverse views on the country’s direction.
