Bring back knowledgeable people like Osinbajo, others not those who say “ranka dede” – Bala Mohammed tells President Tinubu
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, urged President Bola Tinubu to form a skilled team, similar to the one he assembled as Lagos State governor, which included figures like former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and ex-Minister Kayode Fayemi.
Mohammed criticized Tinubu for neglecting advice on policies impacting Nigerians and expressed disappointment, stating he had expected Tinubu to drive positive change in Nigeria.
He said: “I had high hopes that when he becomes president he will bring the same magic he brought to Lagos. But I was mistaken.
“When I said his policies aren’t working, I was speaking as an opposition member. We can’t be expected to support him blindly as his party members do.
“President Tinubu needs to show empathy and apply the same skills he used in Lagos on a national level. He had a strong team before-like former Vice President Osinbajo and former Minister Fayemi-where are they now?
“He should bring back knowledgeable people, not just those who say “ranka dede” (blind praise).
“The government’s economic policies, particularly around fuel and the welfare of the people, are not working. I’m saying this modestly-our monetary policies are failing. President Tinubu needs to bring in capable people to work with him, not me specifically, but experts from across the country.”
