Former Kaduna governor and chieftain of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Nasir El-Rufai, has said Nigeria is moving backwards since President Bola Tinubu assumed office.
El-Rufai accused Tinubu's government of incompetence, nepotism and betrayal of the founding ideals of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He disclosed this in an interview with Deutsche Welle Hausa in Katsina.
He said Nigeria was worse off today in terms of insecurity, economy and governance than it was under previous administrations.
“Ever since the assumption of office of Tinubu as Nigeria’s president, the country has begun to go backwards.
“Insecurity has increased, the economy is dwindling, affluent people are now poor, and ethnic profiling is on the rise.
“Whoever he is giving an appointment to must be someone he knows or from his tribe.
“They can dismiss that, but Nigerians are not stupid. There is no way your name is this, and they will say no, you are from Katsina,”; he said.
