Policy changes: Tinubu not true to ideals he stood for – Former Envoy
An erstwhile Nigeria’s Ambassador to The Philippines, Dr Yemi Farounbi, has said President Bola Tinubu of today is different from the one he knew in the days of their activism as members of the pro-democracy group, the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO.
Farounbi made this statement on a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television on Friday.
He expressed concerns over the frequency of policy changes of the Tinubu administration that have made it impossible for businesses and common Nigerians to plan economically.
The former ambassador said Tinubu is ideologically somersaulting by not staying true to the ideals he stood for before he was sworn in as Nigeria’s President on May 29, 2023.
According to him, economic instability would persist so long as the President doesn’t restructure the country properly.
The ex-ambassador said, “If I have that opportunity, I am going to ask him (Tinubu) to look back at what he was. I am going to ask him to look at the letter he wrote to (former President Goodluck) Jonathan in 2012. I am going to ask him to look at the cases he took to the Supreme Court on local governments.
“I am going to ask him why is he ideologically somersaulting. Why is he not appearing as the Tinubu that we knew, why is not the Tinubu that was committed to the restructuring of this country, a Tinubu that was interested in a sovereign national conference, a Tinubu that was committed to true federalism?
“I’m going to ask him what had happened. Can he be true to himself? Let him be himself as he was in the past and I think that a lot of these problems will not be there.
Farounbi said the idea of a progressive is to be able to provide for the welfare of the people, to be able to provide food and jobs for the people.
