Amid concerns over frequent suspension of some officials of key government agencies, some civil society organisations have expressed the need for President Bola Tinubu to step on toes in order to succeed in carrying out planned reforms so as to be able to achieve his agenda of ‘Renewed Hope’ for the country.
Speaking with LEADERSHIP Friday yesterday, the national secretary, Campaign for Democracy (CD), Olufemi Lawson said the recent actions of President Bola Tinubu shows the willingness of his administration to address the many wrongs that had put Nigerians under untold hardship over the past few months.
He said, “Irrespective of the public perception of the suspension of the CBN and EFCC chief executives, these are decisions that have impacted positively on the view of the citizens, in respect of the administration’s decision to address the various vices that characterised leadership of key government agencies under the immediate past administration.
‘’Moving forward, President Bola Tinubu must further demonstrate his commitment to the anti-corruption crusade, while at the same time unveiling his roadmap towards the actualisation of his campaign promises to Nigerians.”
According to him, Nigerians have a lot of expectations, and the president has a duty to begin to unveil his plans so Nigerians do not limit his administration’s policies to the interventions so far witnessed.
For Comrade Mark Adebayo, spokesperson of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), President Bola Tinubu is on the right track by removing the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele.
“The former CBN governor shouldn’t have lasted a day in office after indicating his interest to run for the post of president of Nigeria while he was still in office as CBN governor.
