A former member of the House of Representatives, Usman Bugaje, has presented what he described as “evidences” to show that President Bola Tinubu was not in charge of his government.
In an interview with ChannelsTV on Thursday night, Bugaje pointed out Tinubu’s appointments of some individuals for various positions and subsequent withdrawals of same as proof of the president’s lack of control.
The President Tinubu had appointed 24-year-old Imam Kashim Imam as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
Following the controversy that trailed Imam’s appointment, President Tinubu withdrew the decision.
Maryam Shetty, one of Tinubu’s a ministerial nominees, was dropped days to her screening by the Senate.
Similarly, some Nigerians also faulted the appointment of Ola Olukoyede as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ola Olukoyede.
According to Bugaje, all these are “evidence” that President Tinubu is not in charge of his government.
“I can tell you one thing. Clearly, what we have seen is evidence of the fact that the President is not in charge. Someone else is in charge. Now, it is for him to figure out if he wants to really be in charge,” Bugajee said.
“How can a name get to the point of getting to the National Assembly for clearing – that is the final stage – and then you do not even know? Anyone who would have been involved in these should leave.”
He berated the Tinubu government for doing “things the way you want” irrespective of what Nigerians and the law say.
“This government does not have any sense of shame. I am afraid to say so. You would feel ashamed to get certain things done,” the elder statesman said on the show.
“And then clearly, there is an element of contempt for citizens. You just do things the way you want and how you want irrespective of the rules and regulations.”
