Tony Okeke, a former spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, accusing it of taking Nigeria backwards by a century.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okeke also criticized former President Muhammadu Buhari, Tinubu’s predecessor, claiming both APC-led administrations have failed Nigeria.
“In law, we say you cannot build something on nothing. The last administration [of Buhari] took this country like 50 years back. The present administration, I think, is trying to take us like 100 years back,” Okeke said.
The PDP chieftain lamented his party’s failure to capitalize on public dissatisfaction with the APC during the 2023 elections.
“The 2023 election would have been the easiest for the PDP to win because there were eight years of monumental disaster by the Buhari administration. People were fed up because the APC had nothing to offer,” Okeke added.
