Daniel Bwala, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed concerns about the current administration led by Bola Tinubu, suggesting that even if Tinubu is given 30 years nothing will work.
He highlighted the parallels with the past, citing how Nigerians were previously urged to exercise patience for eight years during the Buhari administration, which, in his view, accomplished very little.
Speaking as the former spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections on Channels TV on Monday, Bwala emphasized the need to evaluate the timeframe within which a public officer is expected to deliver results.
Tinubu, in Bwala’s analysis, has already utilized 31.8 percent of his first term, during which, according to Bwala, the suffering of Nigerians has escalated.
“When people advocate for patience and waiting, it’s essential to consider the time frame the public officer has to execute the work,” Bwala explained. “Tinubu has completed eight months of his four-year term, constituting 31.8 percent of the total time in office.”

Drawing a parallel with the previous administration, Bwala noted, “When Buhari took over in 2015, we heard the same language, and we patiently followed, only for him to complete the first term and then the second term.”
“When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work. Most of the economists I’ve listened to have faulted the President’s budget with which he was supposed to deliver the agenda flat-out…
“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” he said.
