Chief Tony Okocha, Chairman All Progressives Congress (APC) Rivers Caretaker Committee on Sunday in Abuja, said that President Bola Tinubu’s achievements were grossly underreported.
He said this while speaking at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) news forum, adding that there was need for his ministers to do more to enlighten Nigerians on the administration’s achievements.
“President Tinubu’s achievements are not in the public domain because most of his ministers failed to do the needful and are not adding value to the administration and the country.
“Gone are the days when they say don’t blow your trumpet yourself. These days you have to blow it loud,” he said.
He added that in spite of challenges, the Tinubu-led administration had not done badly considering the fact that it inherited a very bad situation.
Okocha said while the President Mohammadu Buhari’s administration performed abysmally low, the current government was working round the clock to reset the country.
He said it was however unfortunate that most of the ministers in Tinubu’s administration were not known because they were not making impact and lacked propaganda device to sell the government and its work.
“The president’s achievements in less than two years are unsong, untill he has a broadcast, you won’t know what he has done.
“Someone has to be responsible for telling Nigerians what the administration is doing in the various ministries and all of those combined, are the president’s achievements,”Okocha said.
He said Nyesom Wike, a former Rivers Governor and the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had been very visible because he tells his story himself through his media friendship.
He added that President Tinubu needs good hands that can deliver on his Renewed Hope Agenda.
”Some of these ministers who are not doing well should be sacked to make way for more serious ones.
“Though Tinubu is fired by the desire to make a difference, some of his ministers are under performing and should be shown the way out to make way for those who are ready to work,” Okocha said.
On the involvement of youths in the Tinubu-led administration, Okocha said the administration was not anti youth.
He said youths have to make deliberate attempt to be in governance to contribute their quota towards national development.
He expressed optimism that the APC would win the 2027 presidential election because according to him, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently a hammer house of horror.
“They are in disarray and we are praying that the crisis in the party will endure so that we can have a smooth seal in the election,”he said.(NAN)
