Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, stating that it is failing because of incompetent appointments and a lack of truthful advice from ministers and presidential villa occupants.
Momodu said, “I am someone who believes in a star-studded cabinet… Today, if you ask me to name ten ministers in Tinubu’s cabinet and to tell you what they did or did not do before they were appointed, I will struggle. That is the truth.”
He emphasized that the administration’s reliance on compensating friends with appointments, rather than selecting competent individuals, is a major issue.
“Nigeria cannot continue to operate on the basis of compensation. ‘I must compensate my friend, my former schoolmate’. A lot of the people there now, their lives totally depend on Tinubu. They cannot tell him the truth.” He said.

Momodu also stated that the attempt to transfer the Lagos template to Abuja has led to the administration’s failure. “What we have today is that someone tried to transfer the Lagos template to Abuja and that is why we are failing.”
He highlighted the abundance of talented Nigerians who could contribute to the administration’s success, saying, “I have travelled to Australia. There is nowhere you will not meet Nigerians doing great things. Where are those people?”
