No Visible Progress in Nigeria Under Tinubu – Ologbondiyan

Kola Ologbondiyan, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that claims of progress under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are absurd.
He said this on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television, in response to recent APC defections.
Ologbondiyan further said that the APC has produced a politically contentious climate, particularly under the current administration.

He stated, “It is regrettable that anyone would look at Nigeria today and claim progressive administration; it is absurd. What’s going on in Edo is comical.

“The Tinubu administration has demonstrated disturbing levels of political fluidity and division. The current political system is profoundly divided, with parties claiming full ownership of political space. This raises concerns about the potential for resistance.

The former spokesperson emphasized the growing national unhappiness, claiming that many Nigerians are merely suffering the current state of affairs while looking forward to the next election.

“If you test the mood of the nation, Nigerians are simply waiting for 2027. Some have even referred to the President as an OTP (One-Term President). In 2027, we must ensure that elections are free of errors that do not determine who will be president,” he said.

Speaking further, he voiced significant concern over the internal state of his party, claiming that the PDP cannot move forward under the current acting chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum.

“I will not deny that there is turbulence in the PDP. “As long as Ambassador Umar Damagum is acting chairman, the party will fail,” he asserted.
