Lives Of Many Minsters Totally Depend On Tinubu, They Cannot Tell Him The Truth – Dele Momodu

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has claimed that many ministers and those in the presidential villa are afraid of telling President Bola Ahmed Tinubu the truth about the challenges regarding his administration.

Naija News reports that Momodu, who recently wrote an open letter to President Tinubu expressing his displeasure at the current state of the nation, made this known during an interview on Channels TV on Monday.

The veteran journalist stated that the Tinubu administration is failing because someone tried to transfer the Lagos template to Abuja.

Speaking further, Momodu claimed that the current administration is all about using appointments as compensation to friends who may not be competent for the job given to them.

He said, “I am someone who believes in star-studded cabinet, If you ask me today, President Ibrahim Babangida, minus the June 12 annulment, he had one of the best cabinets in Nigeria. He tried his best. Obasanjo also tried his best to assemble the best, Today, if you ask me to name ten ministers in Tinubu’s cabinet and to tell you what they did or did not do before they were appointed, I will struggle. That is the truth.

“What we have today is that someone tried to transfer the Lagos template to Abuja and that is why we are failing.

“I have travelled to Australia. There is nowhere you will not meet Nigerians doing great things. Where are those people? In today’s Nigeria, it is either you are the son of, the daughter of… Nigeria cannot continue to operate on the basis of compensation. ‘I must compensate my friend, my former schoolmate’

“A lot of the people there now, their lives totally depend on Tinubu. They cannot tell him the truth. I know what a lot of them say behind when they see us.”
