Serious gbege burst for Channels Television during their Democracy Day programme, when former senator Usman Bugaje come drag President Bola Tinubu for how him no get shame dey run Naija for June 12, 2025.
Bugaje talk dis one for inside June 12, say Tinubu don become like king wey dey sit for him palace, surrounded by yes-men wey dey shield am from di real wahala wey ordinary naija pipo dem dey face every day.
Bugaje come yan say e be like say Tinubu no sabi wetin dey ground again because all di pipo wey dey around am no dey tell am di truth.
E talk say if Tinubu really know di kind suffering wey dey everywhere, e for dey shame for himself.
According to Bugaje, “E be like say dem don put Tinubu for cage of sycophants.
Dem no dey allow am see reality, no dey tell am true.
If e know wetin dey happen for society, e for shame for himself.
As I sabi am, I no expect say e go allow dis kain thing happen”.
E still talk say Tinubu just dey enjoy di comfort for Aso Rock Villa, dey yan anyhow like pesin wey no get idea of di suffering wey dey outside.
E talk say if Tinubu know, e no go dey do di kind things wey e dey do now.
Dis one na serious shade because e mean say Tinubu dey live for bubble, far from di real naija wey pipo dey struggle to survive.
Bugaje no stop there.
Him talk say naija democracy don fail di pipo.
E say Naija pipo no dey carry polished speech or sweet talk anymore; dem want action, dem want policy wey go change their life.
Him ask, “Democracy suppose serve pipo, but wetin di pipo dey get?
Di political economy we dey run now dey make pipo poor”.
He said insecurity devastated families, kidnappings rise, people sell everything, and many lose homes.
E talk about young graduates wey dey wait years for job wey no dey.
Small business owners wey dey struggle with high bills and no power, and keke riders wey no fit even survive.
E ask beta questions like, “Wetin you go talk to pesin wey dem kidnap im relative?
How small business owner go survive with electricity bill wey high, no power and no profit?
How keke rider go take feed im family?
Na which kind economy be dis?
Na which kind democracy be dis?”.
Dis kain talk na serious slap for government because e expose how bad things don be for ground.
Bugaje also criticize Tinubu’s leadership style as lacking ideas and dynamism.
Bugaje says Tinubu acts like monarch, neglects proper governance, and pushes unclear, suspicious tax reform bill..
Him say governance for 21st century suppose be scientific and focused on results, but na big man politics and empty talk we dey get.
Na so him come add say di government no solve any major problem since e start.
No solution for electricity, no solution for poverty, no solution for insecurity.
Pipo dey complain everywhere, even for Lagos wey be Tinubu base.
E talk say na politics dem dey do instead of governance, and naija pipo don tire of empty promises.
Di whole mata come out during special Democracy Day programme wey celebrate 26 years of democracy.
But Bugaje use dis opportunity to expose how democracy no dey work for ordinary naija pesin.
E talk say politicians dey play big man politics, dem no get ideas, dem no get courage to face real issues.
E call for leaders wey get vision and policies wey fit lift pipo out of poverty and insecurity.
Dis kain talk from Bugaje na serious wake-up call.
Bugaje says Tinubu’s government is detached, surrounded by yes-men, failing to help Nigerian people effectively.
E talk say if Tinubu know wetin dey happen, e for shame for himself because di suffering of di pipo no be small thing.
E talk say democracy suppose serve pipo, but for now, na suffer and empty talk dem dey get.
Di question be: how Tinubu go take waka from here?
Will e wake up from the bubble or continue to dey live for fantasy while millions dey struggle?
Na serious matter for Naija politics and for all of us wey dey hustle for survival every day.
