NDC Critiques Tinubu's Independence Speech for Lack of Substance
The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) has criticized President Bola Tinubu's Independence speech, stating it was rich in platitudes but lacked substance. Osa Director, the National Publicity Secretary of NDC, made these remarks during an interview with LEADERSHIP in Abuja, coinciding with Nigeria's 66th Independence anniversary.
In his speech, President Tinubu claimed that Nigeria has transitioned from economic reforms to an "age of prosperity," citing a 4% growth in the economy, reduced oil theft, and significant improvements in foreign reserves and non-oil exports. However, Director countered that the true impact of reforms should be reflected in the living conditions of Nigerians, rather than mere claims.
He suggested that a comparison with the speech of NDC's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would highlight the differences in substance and effectiveness.
