The Labour Party (LP) has described President Bola Tinubu’s New Year’s Day broadcast to Nigerians as an arrogant display of dishonesty and disregard for the citizens of the country.
The party stated this in a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
President Tinubu in his New Year’s broadcast to the nation on Monday, among several pledged and reiterated his commitment to deliver on his electoral promises to Nigerians.
He also urged his political opponents to work with him since the elections are over.
Reacting further, the party said that
”‘ If anything, the speech conveyed to Nigerians the high level of hypocrisy, deceit, and lack of empathy which has become the guiding principle of the All Progressives Congress administration that Tinubu leads.
It is depressing to note that the President and his handlers didn’t deem it fit to include a word of comfort for the families of over 200 persons killed by terrorists during the Christmas Eve massacre in Plateau State. What a shame.
The President’s helplessness in the face of his glaring failure to address the critical issues of insecurity, decayed infrastructure, the collapse of the manufacturing and productive sectors, inflation, and the Naira to Dollar exchange rate which is spiraling out of
control is written all over the speech.
There was no word about the alleged massive looting of the nation’s resources by appointees and party leaders in various sectors.
Most disturbing for us is the President’s false claim that, “everything I have done in office, every decision I have taken and every trip I have undertaken outside the shores of our land, since I assumed office on 29 May 2023, have been done in the best interest of our country”, what a despicable form of deceit.
