A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has tackled President Bola Tinubu over his nationwide broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
In a post on his verified X handle on Thursday, Momodu said
Tinubu’s speech turned Independence Day into a day of lamentation.
He said his heart bled as the President went into the
analogy of Nigeria as a cancer patient who merely survived on painkillers
before his arrival as a celebrated surgeon.
According to him, the President was expected to stabilise
Nigeria and not metastasise it into stage-four cancer.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine lamented that Nigeria has
made more money, amassed more loans, while insecurity has increased, poverty
has escalated and politicians have remained insensitive.
“Dear Mr President, please permit me to wish you a Happy
Independence Day on our 66th anniversary.
“Today is supposed to be a day of celebration, but your
speech turned it into a day of lamentation.
“You specifically mentioned morphine as the drug of choice
by your predecessors. I’m not sure this analogy was appropriate. At the time
you assumed power, Nigeria probably had stage-two cancer, at the worst,” he
wrote.
