Other than when I was in the Villa serving as an adviser on State and Local Government Affairs, and he was the governor of Lagos State, we used to meet and relate purely in an official capacity, I never had anything to do with him. I can say I don\u2019t know him from Adam. But I can also say he is unknowingly presently reaping from the sweat of my efforts in contriving the APC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO: \u201cNo Student Will Drop Out Of School Under My Govt\u201d \u2013 Tinubu Assures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as Nigeria\u2019s President, I pray for him to succeed. I hope for the sake of the country that he does. But for President Tinubu to succeed, he needs to focus on probity and accountability. The previous administration did not do that. They will give responsibility and there will not be any follow-up on that. I also thought he was going to address Nigeria\u2019s problems, corruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not worried at all; if those he appoints will deliver, I don\u2019t care where they are from. What we want is delivery. After all, President Buhari appointed mostly northerners in most sectors of the country, but did they deliver? What benefits was it for the North? I don\u2019t do things based on North-South, Muslim-Christian sentiments. Our country has collapsed, and I can only hope and pray for the success of President Tinubu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate that under him, the country is having serious problems, hunger, starvation, and poverty, especially in northern Nigeria. The removal of the fuel subsidy is an appeasement to international monetary organisations as far as I am concerned. But it is not helping the country; we are not subsidising anything. If President Tinubu wants to change the country, he must change the mode of governing the country because the mode of governance is faulty,\u201d Ardo detailed in a chat with Punch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Umar Ardo, former Special Adviser on Research and Strategy to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, the alleged lopsided appointment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not matter.
