A chieftain of African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Adamu Waziri, said the President Bola Tinubu administration was a “disastrous catastrophe” that had performed worse than the much-maligned government of former President MuhammaduBuhari.

Speaking in a television interview monitored by THISDAY, Waziri expressed deep concern over what he described as Nigeria’s steady descent into economic hardship, insecurity, and national disunity under Tinubu’s watch.

“If the Buhari government was a failure, the Tinubu government in the last two years is a disastrous catastrophe,” Waziri declared, saying, “It has failed in all ramifications, and the country has regressed.”

Waziri pointed to worsening security challenges, a collapsing economy, and rising ethnocentrism as evidence of the administration’s failures. He said the present leadership had not only failed to build on past efforts but has also deepened the country’s problems.

“The economy is collapsing, ethnocentrism is at an all-time high, and insecurity continues to ravage many states,” he said.

The former minister accused the Tinubu government of lacking national direction and failing to unite the country, warning that Nigeria has become increasingly fragile and polarised.

Waziri lamented, “Under this government, Nigeria has lost its compass. We are more divided, more fragile, and there is no clear path forward.”

He also questioned the sincerity of public figures, who publicly endorsed the administration while their own communities suffered from insecurity and lawlessness.

“I am surprised that people whose local governments are under the control of bandits can appear on national television to endorse this government,” Waziri stated.

He urged Nigerians to critically evaluate the government’s performance beyond curated media appearances and political endorsements.

He stated, “Nigerians must look beyond staged media appearances and assess whether their lives have improved in the last two years. The facts on the ground tell a different story.”

He cautioned that an administration responsible for such national decline lacked the moral grounds to seek re-election.
