Anthony Sani got it wrong: Nigerians are frustrated with PBAT’s administration, poised to effect change, by Engr. Bello Gwarzo Abdullahi, FNSE
In an interview with the Daily Post, Anthony Sani, former Scribe of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), articulated pedestrian, if not lamentable, assertions regarding the current political landscape in Nigeria. As leaders, there exists an imperative need to authentically resonate with the pervasive frustration that engulfs the polity.
His appraisal of the sentiments harbored by Nigerians seems to have overlooked the profound disillusionment directed towards the PBAT-led administration. This disenchantment is deeply entrenched in a multitude of factors, including unfulfilled promises, economic tribulations, and a perceived absence of accountability from those in positions of authority.
Furthermore, instances of corruption and mismanagement have further eroded trust in the government’s capacity to govern effectively and address the populace’s needs.
The “renewed hope”mantra of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has regrettably devolved into “renewed hopelessness.”Nigerians are disillusioned and are earnestly seeking avenues to extricate themselves from the quagmire in which they find themselves.
As the scribe of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), and in light of the political milieu, Anthony Sani’s assertion that Northerners lack the requisite trust in Peter Obi to permit him to govern Nigeria for a single term, that the politics of zoning may potentially disadvantage Atiku in his quest to surmount Tinubu, and the characterization of former Governor El-Rufai as an astute technocrat devoid of electoral charisma, along with the electoral viability of former Governor Kwankwaso, who possesses the capability to deliver Kano State yet contemplates defection to the APC ostensibly to augment his political capital, is indeed a reductionist perspective.
Such a viewpoint is a veiled attempt to mislead and coerce Nigerians into acquiescing to the current APC administration’s anticipated victory in the 2027 elections, despite the prevailing sentiments of neglect, arrogance, and nepotism that have rendered many Nigerians profoundly disheartened.
Consequently, distilling the discourse to the specific sentiments of Northerners, distrust towards Peter Obi, or matters pertaining to Atiku, Kwankwaso, or El-Rufai grossly oversimplifies the intricacies of the situation and disregards the broader discontent permeating the nation.

Anthony Sani’s perspective fails to encapsulate the full spectrum of challenges confronting President Tinubu and the evolving political landscape in Nigeria. This is characteristic of political sycophants and opportunists.
Nigerians are increasingly demonstrating their readiness to effectuate significant and transformative change, which has propelled the adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the platform for the coalition.
Citizens are mobilizing and organizing themselves for the monumental political confrontations that lie ahead, engaging in advocacy efforts to demand change and ensure that leaders are held accountable for their actions.

It is a well-documented reality that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, substantial challenges have emerged that may impact his prospects in the forthcoming 2027 elections—the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy, the floating of the national currency, the pervasive corruption, and the descent into a one-party state. Indeed, the “renewed hope”agenda has metamorphosed into unprecedented hopelessness.
Given this state of affairs, it is lamentable, to say the least, for our leaders to dissuade the populace from challenging the prevailing conditions. The Nigerian citizenry, renowned for their resilience and tenacity, has actively engaged in movements and initiatives aimed at fostering positive transformations.
In conclusion, the prevailing sentiment of disillusionment among Nigerians towards the PBAT administration underscores the urgent necessity for meaningful reform and a renewed commitment to addressing the pressing issues confronting the country. The demand for transformative change is palpable, indicating that the status quo is no longer tenable for the Nigerian populace.
Nigerians are not passive observers of their fate but rather active agents of change. The momentum for progress and reform is tangible, propelled by a collective resolve to construct a brighter future for subsequent generations.
Nigeria stands at a critical juncture where the actions and decisions of its citizens can shape a more promising tomorrow.
