Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has stated that some individuals criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration are not motivated by the welfare of Nigerians.
Governor Sani alleged that these critics are driven by selfish interests and a desire for political appointments. He did, however, acknowledge that President Tinubu’s government is open to criticism, describing it as a “liberal government.â€
Speaking in an interview with Daily Trust, Governor Sani stressed the importance of constructive criticism, stating that it should aim to improve governance rather than attack or undermine the government.
The governor also made a distinction between critics, saying, “There are some people who are antagonizing the current government, not because they want political appointments, but because they are speaking for the people, so such persons should not be harassed.”
“This government of Asiwaju, I think, is more liberal than any government in the past. For me, you can define these criticisms (against Tinubu government) in different ways. Every democracy must be criticized but the criticism must be constructive for the benefit and interest of the people of Nigeria. That for me is what we did as activists, not because we want power,” he said.
