Nigerian politician, Doyin Okupe has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should not be held responsible for the failures of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking in an interview with The Sun, Okupe highlighted the fractured nature of the APC, describing it as a “conglomerate of strange bedfellows. He argued that the amalgamation of political groups such as the Congress of Progressive Change (C), Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and others created an unstable foundation for governance.

“Tinubu cannot be held responsible for the government before him,” Okupe stated, acknowledging the pivotal role Tinubu played in bringing Muhammadu Buhari to power but insisting that the current istration should be judged independently.

Okupe dismissed claims of collapsing manufacturing and dwindling foreign direct investments, citing recent data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). He pointed to a reported 3% growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and significant improvements in the manufacturing sector during the last quarter.

“Foreign direct investment is increasing,” he asserted, adding that Tinubu’s istration had already resolved pressing financial issues, including settling $7 billion owed to international airlines.

Okupe urged Nigerians to adopt a realistic perspective on the nation’s challenges, emphasizing that the rot inherited from the previous istration cannot be resolved within a short timeframe. “The lifespan of an istration is four years. If you have had rottenness that was unabated for more than eight years, do you think it can be fixed in 18 months? It cannot,” he argued.

Addressing the alarming rise in out-of-school children and youth restiveness, particularly in Northern Nigeria, Okupe attributed the situation to the neglect of social programs like the Almajiri schools initiated by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He called for acknowledgment of Tinubu’s reformist agenda, comparing his approach to that of Lee Kuan Yew, who transformed Singapore over three decades. “We’ve got a reformer in the villa, somebody who says, ‘I take responsibility, and I’m going to try to reform this country,’” Okupe said.

He emphasized the importance of national unity and to achieve the government’s objectives. “Let us agree, let us be factual,” he concluded, urging Nigerians to rally behind the reforms rather than demonize the istration.

*Osibanjo (VP)
*Ahmed Lawan (Senate president)
*Femi Gbajabiamila (HOR speaker).

These 3 are Tinibu Stooges and were Big players in Buhari's CALAMITOUS and DISASTROUS regime.

It is Tinibu that should be blamed for the FAILURES of Buhari.

Tinubu is still printing Naira, just as Buhari did. I see no difference in their policies.

Baba, you don try.

How many spokesmen does Tinubu have?

Noted.

COMRADES, Okukpe is a nonsense man, both Buhari and Tinubu are failures, and APC is a party for the imbecilic Nigerians

Buhari was a complete failure but the hardship created by tinubu has made most people forget about buhari. Emilokan should prove people wrong about him

When He was ing Obi the fraudsters you were praising him. Now you chnage mouth

Is doyin now spokesman for tinubus government?

Mr. Doyin Okupe is trying extremely hard to get President Tinubu to give him a political appointment.

Why won't he be held responsible. Is he not part of the people that brought Buhari and praised all his policies when he was in government.
He was part of Buhari's government. He was elected to fix things he claimed capable of fixing.

Lol

Who can hold the JAGABAN?

So if Buhari had married another wife, would they have said that is Tinubu’s second wife? Can you hold someone for another person’s misdeed?
