Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of lying to Nigerians about the country’s actual situation and his administration.
Naija News reports that Lamido made the accusations while featuring on the BBC Hausa service program ‘Gane Mini Hanya’.
Lamido, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), faulted President Tinubu’s loan requests, lamenting that what the government is telling Nigerians is different from what it is executing.
Referring to last year’s budget, he said, “If Nigerians are being told the truth then there is nothing wrong with that, but how would you budget N30tn, generate N50tn and then request loan when you have a surplus of N20tn.
“This recklessness and clear-cut selfishness is not done anywhere in the world, but yet you find (some) Nigerians supporting it. Visit social media and see how APC is being criticised, being referred to as calamity, yet you find some protecting it.”
Lamido also accused former President Muhammadu Buhari of not being transparent with Nigerians during his time.
According to him, Buhari and Tinubu’s administrations prioritised propaganda rather than telling Nigerians the actual state of the nation, unlike during the PDP’s government.
He added, “Buhari’s and Tinubu’s governments are not being transparent with Nigerians unlike during the time when PDP was in power where everything was transparent and open to all Nigerians.
“But with the coming of Buhari, deception and propaganda became tools for running the government.”
