Chief Bode George, a leader in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu one more year to address the country’s issues and fulfill his campaign promises.
George made this plea during his appearance on Arise TV’s “The Morning Show” recently.
He acknowledged that President Tinubu is still working to meet his promises and, as a new president, needs more time to put his plans into action and show Nigerians his vision.
George explained that Tinubu’s lack of experience as president means he deserves more time to adjust, noting that even former President Olusegun Obasanjo needed a year to settle into his role when he first took office.
“He was part of the party (APC) that formed the government (of Muhammadu Buhari) but it’s a hell of a different thing taking over and now leading the team.
“To be fair to my conscience, he has had that one-year holiday of trying to study the failures of the past administration. I have given him that one year of grace because now he has seen it and lived there,” George said.
He added that he expects Tinubu’s ministers to have identified problem areas by now, similar to how Obasanjo took time to understand the situation in his first year as president. He concluded by saying, “Let’s give him more time.”
