National Chairman, Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has said the reforms embarked upon by the Bola Tinubu administration only exist on paper and have not reflected positively on Nigerians.
According to him, Nigerians are more insecure, hungry, and desperate under the incumbent administration.
Baba-Ahmed, a former Special Adviser on Political Matters to Vice-President Kashim Shettima, stated this as a guest on Arise Television‘s “The Morning Show” programme on Monday.
He was reacting to President Tinubu’s assertion, last week, that those who failed to see the “hope” in his policies needed prescription glasses.
“If they don’t want to see the hope… we shall lend them ‘jigi-bola’… eyeglasses,” the president said.

Reacting, Baba-Ahmed said the remark indicated that the president is disconnected from the reality of everyday Nigerians.
“There is no way you can live in this country, see the level of poverty and unaccountability, and still expect Nigerians to applaud your performance,” he said.
Baba-Ahmed asserted that Nigerians are worse off than before Tinubu to power.
He stated, “We are more insecure, more hungry, and more desperate.
“The reforms on paper do not reflect the reality Nigerians face.
“There is no way you can live in this country, see the level of poverty, seeing the level of unaccountability, we’re not accounting for the funds we’re getting, and still say that Nigerians should see what you’re doing and applaud you.”
