Popular activist, Aisha Yesufu, has criticised President
Bola Tinubu’s administration over the commissioning of the Vice President’s
lodge.
Yesufu said the lodge demonstrates that the current
administration is only good at rigging.
She wondered how N21 billion could be spent on the structure
without a good landscaping design.
Posting on X, the chieftain of the Labour Party (LP) said
the structure was shabby and an example of incompetence.
She wrote: “The incompetence is so glaring, even to
themselves. How do you accept this shabby lawn?
“The N21 billion was not enough to cover landscaping? How do
you come out of your house and the front is looking like a kids’ abandoned
football field? Rigging is the only thing they know how to focus on.”
On Friday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commissioned the Vice
President’s lodge.
Tinubu said providing a suitable residence for the Vice
President symbolised respect for the office and the individual who occupies it.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the president
said the action was not merely a matter of convenience but a reflection of the
present administration’s commitment to providing leaders with the tools and
resources they need to effectively discharge their duties and serve the
Nigerian people with integrity and dedication.
President Tinubu acknowledged that the VP’s residence
project had faced numerous challenges over the years, including delays and
abandonment by previous administrations.
He said, “Rather than dwell on past shortcomings, we have
chosen to seize this opportunity to demonstrate our resolve to confront
obstacles head-on and deliver on the promises made to the Nigerian people in
line with our Renewed Hope Agenda, which has the completion of inherited
projects as one of its cardinal objectives.”
