‘No Sensible Person Will Support Tinubu’ — Ibrahim Little

Former African Democratic Congress (ADC) chairman and Kano governorship candidate Ibrahim Ali Amin, often known as Ibrahim Little, has bemoaned the unfavorable advancements Nigerians are enjoying under President Bola Tinubu’s rule.

In an interview with the Daily Post, he criticized the President’s assertion that the APC has improved Nigerians’ quality of life.

In Imo State, he was responding to the President’s comments at a book launch and project commissioning.

The term “change” can be either positive or negative, he explained.

Nigerians today, by which I mean regular Nigerians who are not associated with the APC-led administration or people in authority, will be honest with you.

No sane person will agree with our president’s remarks if they do not receive crumbs from the APC politicians’ table.

“He has just caused Nigerians to suffer more. We have actually gotten worse at whatever issue we had under Buhari.

The ADC leader criticized the APC-led administration for failing to engage with the average Nigerian, according to him.

It should be more about action than words when it comes to governing.

99% of governance is action, and only 1% is talk.

Sadly, he said, “all we see today is talk and no real impact on people’s lives.”

“The President has failed in his primary constitutional duty to protect lives and property,” he said, criticizing Tinubu’s handling of insecurity.

Regarding the country’s security, he asked whether any Nigerian could genuinely claim that things have gotten better.

Bandits, kidnappers, and Boko Haram are killing more people every day. It has become a national catastrophe and is no longer just a northern issue.

Bandits still rule a number of local administrations in Katsina, Sokoto, and Zamfara States, he claims.

“We have observed villages and local governments where the people now pay taxes to bandits rather than the government,” he stated.

He emphasized that protecting the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as ensuring the safety of citizens’ lives and property, are the president’s main responsibilities as outlined in the Nigerian Constitution.

Both obligations, he said, have been disregarded.

“The fact that criminals effectively rule parts of Nigeria has caused a significant setback to the country’s territorial integrity.”

He added that ensuring the welfare and well-being of citizens is the president’s second main responsibility.

Nigerians have become poorer under Tinubu’s leadership, with many finding it difficult to pay for necessities, Little bemoaned.

He also chastised Tinubu for failing to visit attack-affected regions, claiming the president appears more focused on going to social gatherings.

He has never traveled to a region where Boko Haram or banditry has taken hold since taking office. However, he was at a burial in Plateau and a senator’s wedding in Kaduna,” he continued.
