A former National Vice Chairman, North West, of the All Progressives Congress, Salihu Moh. Lukman, has said that President Bola Tinubu is inaccessible.
Lukman, in an opinion article on Tuesday, said even the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, was more accessible than Tinubu.
In the opinion article he made available to The Eagle Online, he said: “More than at anytime in the history of Nigeria, citizens are being impoverished on an alarming scale.
“Since May 29, 2023 when President Asiwaju took over, it has been a downward slide for Nigerians.
“Being a democratic government, the expectation would have been that President Asiwaju Tinubu will be more accessible.

“Alas, he is proving to be the most inaccessible leader of Nigeria.
“Even late General Sani Abacha was by far more accessible.
“All previous military governments are turning out to be much more open to consultations and receptive to recommendations from Nigerians than the government of President Asiwaju Tinubu.
“As President of the Federal Republic, President Asiwaju Tinubu is showing his worst side.
“Some of the key projects of the last government have been abandoned.
“A good example is Kaduna-Abuja Road, which is becoming a death trap.
“But without any budgetary provision, a new project of more than N15 trillion, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, started.
“Meanwhile, public investment towards addressing the challenges of insecurity is at best business-as-usual.
“And the crisis of insecurity is reduced to ceremonial show of shame and public lamentations by leaders.”
