Tinubu a Failure, Nigerians Dont Miss His Absence

Shaibu accused Tinubu of being disconnected from the realities of Nigerian life, stating that his absence in France had not alleviated any of the economic pain caused by his governance. “Staying back in France has not reduced that burden,” he said. He further claimed that Tinubu is aware of his failures, as are his family members, including his wife and son. “Your boss is a failure, he knows he is a failure,” Shaibu asserted. He added that Nigerians were not eagerly awaiting Tinubu’s return, likening the situation to children waiting for a father to bring home kulikuli—a popular Nigerian snack. Instead, they needed relief, which Tinubu had failed to deliver.

Shaibu concluded by urging Onanuga to inform Tinubu that Nigerians no longer expect him to return to power. “He has had his chance. The best thing he can do for the country now is leave the stage,” he stated. He expressed confidence that Atiku Abubakar would restore affordability and stability if given the opportunity. As the debate over presidential accountability intensifies, the question remains whether remote leadership can effectively address Nigeria’s deepening economic challenges.
