Newscenter Media News Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido has accused President Bola Tinubu of not being transparent enough to tell Nigerians the truth about the true situation of the country and his administration.
Lamido, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who bared his mind in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service programme, ‘Gane Mini Hanya’ on Saturday night, also took a swipe at former President Muhammadu Buhari, accusing him of employing the same method of not being transparent with Nigerians during his time.
While responding to a question on the economic hardship that has hit the country since Tinubu assumed office, Lamido said the two administrations prioritised propaganda rather than telling Nigerians the actual state of the nation unlike during the time PDP governed the country.
“Buhari and Tinubu’s governments are not being transparent with Nigerians unlike during the time when PDP was in power where everything was transparent and open to all Nigerians,” Lamido responded.

“But with the coming of Buhari, deception and propaganda became tools for running the government.”
He also faulted Tinubu’s frequent loan requests, lamenting that what the government is telling Nigerians is different from what it is executing.
“If Nigerians are being told the truth, then there is nothing wrong with that. But how would you budget N30tn, generate N50tn and then request loan when you have a surplus of N20tn.” he said, making reference to the nation’s 2024 budget.
“This recklessness and clear-cut selfishness is not done anywhere in the world, but yet you find some Nigerians supporting it. Visit social media and see how APC is being criticised, being referred to as calamity, yet you find some protecting it,” he added.
