Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Kenneth Okonkwo, has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration, remarking that he initially believed President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime would be the worst, but the Tinubu-led government has proven to be even worse.
Speaking in a recent interview with Channels Television’s Seun Okinbaloye, Okonkwo warned of the imminent danger of anarchy in the nation. He accused Tinubu of nepotism and criticized the President for permitting his children to stand ahead of Ministers in the Order of Protocols during his recent visit to Qatar.
Okonkwo stated: “Anarchy looms in Nigeria. Nigeria isn’t Lagos, where you sit down and decree things, and you expect it to work that way. You don’t compare gold with carrots. I thought Buhari’s regime was going to be the worst, but the nine months of this present government has surpassed it. Do you know what it means when you place your children in order of protocols before the Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? What do you call that? You allowed someone to come into Aso Rock, sitting on the Coat of Arms, to call our military men thieves. This government, in terms of appointment, is just concentrating not even on South-West but on the Lagos axis of his Jagabanic proteges.”
Okonkwo’s remarks come amidst previous accusations against the Tinubu administration of lacking a real developmental plan for the country, particularly concerning the decision to move some ministries, departments, and agencies to Lagos from Abuja.
