The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has sharply criticized the President Bola Tinubu administration, accusing it of implementing major economic policies blindly without adequate planning.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Baba-Ahmed alleged that the Federal Government failed to conduct proper assessments before executing critical reforms, most notably the sudden removal of the petrol subsidy.

According to the PRP chieftain, monumental policy decisions must always be guided by comprehensive analyses of their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT).

"You don`t embark on policies without SWOT analysis. The very day President Tinubu was sworn in, by his own admission, the issue about removing subsidy was not even in his speech," Baba-Ahmed stated, arguing that the administration left citizens entirely unprepared for the devastating economic fallout.

"No government undertakes a policy measure of this magnitude without putting it through the most basic elements of a SWOT analysis," he added.

Expressing deep disappointment with the presidency, Baba-Ahmed noted that despite his strong political credentials and ambitious "Emi lo kan" (It’s my turn) campaign posture, President Tinubu has failed to historic opportunities to fix Nigeria’s foundational crises.

He pointed out a stark contradiction in the nation`s current financial reality, where government coffers are swelling while citizens starve.

"Now we’re here. Nigeria is making so much money, and yet poverty levels are rising, insecurity is rising, and corruption is rising," Baba-Ahmed alleged, concluding that the current administration has largely failed to meet public expectations.

The PRP chairman also firmly dismissed ongoing narratives that opposition figures are plotting to overthrow the government through unconstitutional means. He maintained that democratic patience remains the only path forward.

"We intend to remove the government by voting them out of power. That is the case," he insisted.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has repeatedly defended its sweeping economic agenda, insisting that painful reforms like the subsidy removal and foreign exchange floating are bitter but necessary pills to stabilize the economy and guarantee long-term growth.
