Usman Bugaje, a former member of the House of Representatives has stated that President Bola Tinubu does not have the ability to tackle the country’s challenges.

GistReel reports that it’s been a tough ride for Nigeria since president Tinubu came into power.

The country has been dealing with economic hardship for a solid eight months now and it all started when the fuel subsidy was halted and the naira was floated.

While speaking on Channels TV, Bugaje said;

”Today, it is everybody’s knowledge that Bola Tinubu has no solutions to the problems of this country….his government has failed to address the most essential issues. We had expected that when the new government took over,  we were expecting that he would surround himself with expertise.

“We were expecting that for him to have announced the removal of the fuel subsidy, he must have had a plan – something that would address the consequences of that.

“You don’t make a policy without looking at the consequences and preparing to cushion the effect of that. But apparently, he did that without preparation.”

Bugaje blamed Tinubu’s advisers for not telling the president the truth about the state of the country.

“I can see a lot of sycophancy around him (Tinubu). People are not engaging him. They are not telling him the truth and he seems to be very comfortable with the kind of people he has around him who don’t seem to have any ideas in their heads.

“They don’t seem to have any solutions to the problems that we have and they are always trying to find excuses.” he said
