In a recent appearance on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” Bode George, a prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on President Bola Tinubu to deliver on his promises and foster hope among Nigerians. This appeal came in response to President Tinubu’s address urging citizens to maintain a positive outlook on the country.
Highlighting the struggle against abject poverty and insecurity, George emphasized the necessity for the current administration to instigate tangible change. “Providing hope is fundamental. Without it, the daily battle for survival can steer the populace towards despair,” George remarked, suggesting that actionable hope could pivot the narrative towards a more positive national dialogue.
George also touched upon the broader issue of national security, advocating for a constitutional review, particularly the consideration of establishing state police forces. He argued that the existing 1999 Constitution falls short in addressing the complexity of Nigeria’s insecurity crisis, suggesting that a more localized approach to policing could be a step in the right direction.
During a Ramadan Iftar gathering with religious and traditional leaders, President Tinubu emphasized the importance of constructive criticism and unity, highlighting his commitment to transforming Nigeria’s challenges into opportunities for prosperity. He reassured the nation of his administration’s resolve against terrorism, asserting the collective will of Nigerians as indomitable.
This dialogue underscores a pivotal moment for Nigeria, with leadership and citizens alike navigating the path towards unity, security, and prosperity. As the country stands on the cusp of potential transformation, the actions and policies of President Tinubu’s administration remain under scrutiny, with the hope of fulfilling the aspirations of a nation eager for positive change.
