Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has delivered a scathing assessment of the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing it as ineffective, incompetent, and a failure affecting all Nigerians.

Speaking in a widely circulated video, Obasanjo stated that poor governance has made every citizen a victim, stressing that businesses and livelihoods would be significantly better under a competent and performing government.

“When you have an ineffective and incompetent government, we are all victims… Those of your business would be better today if they had a competent and effective and performing government.”

He acknowledged that every administration inherits challenges but criticized the current government for relying on those challenges as excuses rather than delivering results.

“You came in because you know that there are challenges… And giving us excuses. That is why you haven’t achieved results.”

Drawing from his military background, Obasanjo issued a stark warning against accepting failure in leadership.

“First lesson I learned in my military training is never enforce failure… What we have now is failure. Never you reinforce it.”

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the presidency.
