Following President Bola Tinubu’s 69th Independence Day speech, All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Mustapha Mona Audu has endorsed the Renewed Hope agenda but raised concerns about the President’s team’s ability to implement the plan effectively and meet the administration’s goals.
President Tinubu had delivered a national address in honour of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary, asserting that his reforms were producing positive outcomes. However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) criticized the speech, alleging that it was rife with inaccuracies and failed to address the country’s urgent problems.
APC Chieftain Audu conveyed his endorsement of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda in an interview with ARISE NEWS on Wednesday, characterising it as commendable. Nevertheless, he expressed apprehensions regarding the President’s team’s capacity to execute the plan effectively, challenging their ability to achieve the administration’s objectives.
He pointed out that a realistic and statistical assessment of their ministries raises questions about their job creation, revenue generation, and income production.
“Delivering speeches is one thing; fulfilling promises is another entirely,” he remarked.
“In reality, the truth about it is that Nigerians are not feeling the Renewed Hope agenda- that’s just the truth of it,” Audu stated. “Two protests in the space of three months shows us that we’re not actually performing as we promised Nigerians that we would.”
Furthermore, Audu stated anticipations for at least a “cabinet reshuffle” and pointed out that over half of the cabinet members are underperforming and largely unknown. “It’s not about having just people occupying positions. You need people with vision, people with understanding, people who know what to do and how to go about doing it,” he emphasized.
“Let’s hit the nail on the head, and let’s be direct. First of all, we expect a cabinet reshuffle, at the very least. (AriseNews TV, Text, excluding headline)
