As President Bola Tinubu marks the second anniversary of his administration today, May 29, 2025, a former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, says that the president has not done well at all in addressing the sufferings of Nigerians.
Suswam spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, explaining that the president has not mitigated the pain of the masses, occasioned by the policies of the All Progressives Congress-led federal administration.
According to Suswan, the APC-led government is unmindful of the concerns of Nigerians.
His words, “My assessments of this government, just like any other Nigerian; they have not done well at all, and I would say so because the indicators are all over the place.
“As a student of global economics, I would like to say that when you embark on certain economic policies that will impact very negatively on the people that you govern, you must also in the same vein initiate factors that will mitigate the pains that will be experienced by these people.
“Unfortunately, you devalue your currency, you remove subsidy on energy and transportation. You have increased the MPR, that is the monetary policy rate, and so there’s no way that any country can survive that, especially a developing economy such as our own, more so that we’re not a producing country.”
The former Benue governor also asked Tinubu to forget endorsements for a second term in office by sycophants.
Forget Sycophants’ Second-Term Endorsements
According to Suswan, “I don’t have any problem with a sitting president getting re-elected if all things are good. The coalition is being talked about; whoever thought that Peter, who had no governor, no senator, how many votes did he get? Five million.
“In most places, they said he won; he was rigged out. And so the worst election that you can face is against the people, not against political parties.
“So, my advice is that the President should address the people. He should forget about the sycophants who are endorsing him or about political parties. In most places where strong presidents have been removed, they were removed by the people, not political parties. So, it is worse to face the people than political parties."
