Former Minister of Police Affairs, Adamu Waziri, has stated that Nigeria would never make progress without the right leadership.
Waziri lamented that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has inflicted suffering on the people in recent years.
The former member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party shared his reservations during an appearance on Channels Television on Friday.
Waziri, a member of the African Democratic Alliance, the platform of the opposition coalition, urged the incumbent administration to give them the next two years so they can change the country.
He said, “We are asking for Nigerians to give us three months. The Bola Tinubu administration is asking for Nigerians to give it another two years.
“What are the records? The two years of Bola Tinubu have inflicted severe pain on Nigeria.
“That’s why some are saying that if you give it another two years, it will be a catastrophe. So, if you are ready to wait for two years, we are saying don’t wait for two years. Give us the next two years so that we can change this country.”
Waziri said that the government of the ruling All Progressives Congress would be removed democratically, dismissing thoughts that there were plans to topple Tinubu’s administration.
He stated, “If I have the democratic means to remove this government tomorrow, I will move this government. But I don’t have that, which means I have to wait for two years to do so.
“We are not toppling this government. We are going to democratically remove this government. It is cheap blackmail to say people are planning to oust this government
“No, we are challenging this government on the democratic process and to remove it. If I can do that, if there is a way that constitutionality and democracy allow us to remove this government tomorrow, we will do it.”
The former minister said nobody other than Nigerians can turn around the country’s fortunes and save it from its current state.
