Former Minister Nwajiuba Accuses Tinubu’s Government of ‘Gross Incompetence’

Former Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, comparing its style of governance to “cartel behaviour.”

Speaking in an interview on Thursday, Nwajiuba accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of overseeing gross incompetence and consolidating political power to monopolise national resources.

“Who removes subsidy today and the next morning takes a loan to buy a yacht, renovate a vice-presidential house that is not lived in, travel abroad? This is not government. This is cartel behaviour,” he said.

The former minister emphasised that his criticism was not about corruption allegations but rather a fundamental failure of governance.

“I’m not talking about thievery. I’m talking about gross incompetence,” Nwajiuba said, adding that the country was being poorly managed following major policy shifts.

Nwajiuba also revealed his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Explaining his decision, he said, “I declared to run because we’ve come into 2026, the ADC is ready, the coalition has come into the ADC and the party is now set.”

According to Nwajiuba, the ADC’s strategy is to strengthen grassroots structures and draw in Nigerians dissatisfied with the current state of governance.

“This is the time to remind all of our supporters and people who want a change in this madness called governance to come with their entire team,” he said.
