Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dan Ulasi, has challenged President Bola Tinubu to publicly account for the promises made to Nigerians before the 2023 presidential election.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Ulasi, during an interview on ARISE Television’s ‘Morning Show’ on Wednesday, urged Tinubu to address Nigerians and explain which campaign promises have been fulfilled, which ones are still ongoing, and the reasons for delays in implementation.
According to him, many Nigerians are currently adapted to the non-performance of government and now focus on personal survival outside state structures.
Ulasi stressed that although governing may differ from what outsiders perceive, citizens still have the right to demand explanations from elected leaders about unfulfilled promises.
He said, “If the President is doing well, I want to see Mr President, and I like him personally, let him make a broadcast outlining every promise he made before 2023 and which one he has started and completed, if not, why did he not.
“This is all I’m saying. Maybe it’s not what you see outside government that you see inside government, but we have a right to want to know the promises you made to us. Why have you not fulfilled them?
“Nigerians are now genetically used to non-performance. They are not interested. Most people now look for ways of making money outside the government.
“Government does not produce, provide water, do not provide food, they don’t put anything. When they can’t even pay salaries of teachers, that becomes a problem. Our problems are multifarious, and we cannot abandon them to fate.”
