Tinubu squandered his goodwill with shambolic performance — Al-Mustapha

A former Chief Security Officer to the late military head of state, Sani Abacha, and ex-presidential candidate of Action Alliance (AA), Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, has said President Bola Tinubu squandered his goodwill with his shambolic performance since assuming office.

The retired military officer-turned-politician said he would have done things differently had he won the 2023 presidential election.

He insisted that if the Tinubu-led administration had managed the economy as outlined in its blueprint, the country would have witnessed remarkable improvements.

His words: “Politics aside, it would have been extremely different because I’m not praise-singing our political party and our team. We were the only political party and the candidate that talked about the youths as a source of investment.

“We were the only ones that spelt out clearly protecting and dignifying women. We were the only ones that talked deeply about securing Nigeria in phases and stages. We were the only ones that talked about also recovering from the losses, from remittances of what people stole and then in support of Naira and then looking at naira from international trade and international dirty politics.

“We were the only ones that talked about dirty budget politics in Nigeria. We talked about dirty domestic oil politics. We talked about and planned for international dirty oil politics.

“These are some of the problems bedevilling the system today. If these were managed as contained in our plans, definitely this wouldn’t be the situation of Nigeria today.”
