Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, accusing it of relying heavily on propaganda instead of delivering tangible results to Nigerians. Lamido expressed his concerns during a public engagement, where he called for more transparency and accountability in Tinubu’s leadership.
“Nigerians Deserve the Truth”
Lamido alleged that the federal government is prioritizing image management over addressing critical issues. “Tinubu is not telling Nigerians the truth,” he stated. “This government is built on a foundation of propaganda rather than real solutions for the challenges facing the nation.”
A Call for Substance Over Spin
According to Lamido, the administration’s focus on public relations campaigns detracts from solving pressing problems like economic hardship, unemployment, and insecurity. He urged the government to shift from “selling stories” to implementing policies that directly impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Opposition Voices Grow Louder
Lamido’s comments add to the growing chorus of opposition figures calling for a more people-focused approach from the Tinubu administration. Critics argue that the government’s narrative of progress often overlooks the struggles of everyday citizens.
The Way Forward
The former governor called on Nigerians to demand greater transparency and accountability. “Our people need leadership that delivers—not just promises or crafted narratives,” Lamido said.
As the debate over Tinubu’s leadership intensifies, many are watching closely to see whether the administration will respond to these criticisms or double down on its current strategy.
