PDP chieftain Ulasi demands Tinubu account for 2023 promises amid public resignation to govt failure
PDP chieftain Dan Ulasi challenged President Bola Tinubu on Arise Television's Morning Show Wednesday to publicly account for his 2023 presidential campaign promises. Ulasi asked Tinubu to deliver a broadcast detailing which promises have been fulfilled, which remain ongoing, and explaining reasons for any delays in implementation. He emphasized Nigerians' right to transparency on government performance since assuming office. Ulasi lamented that many Nigerians have become resigned to poor governance, no longer expecting meaningful state performance and instead focusing on personal survival through informal means outside government structures. He stated citizens are 'genetically used to non-performance' and seek alternatives when government fails to provide basics like water, food, or timely teacher salaries. Ulasi acknowledged governing differs from outside perceptions but insisted citizens deserve explanations from elected leaders over unmet commitments. His remarks reflect growing public frustration with governance gaps amid Nigeria's multifaceted challenges. The challenge comes as opposition figures continue scrutinizing Tinubu's administration ahead of 2027 elections, with Ulasi framing accountability as a fundamental democratic right rather than partisan criticism. Given this widening accountability gap where citizens increasingly rely on self-help solutions, how do you assess government's impact on your daily life, and what alternatives do you turn to when state services fall short?
