From Mohammed Suleiman, Dutse.

The Publisher Ovation magazine and chieftain of the PDP, Mr Dele Momodu, has on Thursday cautioned President Ahmed Bola Tinubu of the trouble faced by the country under his watch.

Momodu, in an open letter, he tagged, ” Urgent Message For President Tinubu” lamented the precarious collapse of the economy and wastages in governance amid scarce resources among other things.

"Nigeria is in big trouble. Our economy has virtually collapsed. And what’s the way out? You’ve been wasting too much money at a time that requires absolute frugality. Please, stop this reckless propensity for wasting scarce resources"

According to the PDP Chieftain, Purchasing Presidential jets, building outlandish monuments, distributing cash as palliatives, etc, are signs of a failed and careless government, instead curb the excessive spending of your government, you will free up a lot of resources for serious development.

DELE MOMODU contended that I have decided to write this open letter to you as a concerned friend and Brother. As you’re aware, I’m a member of the opposition but you and I have had a long history together.

"I owe you only one thing, TRUTH. It is very obvious that the first thing that takes flight in the Presidential villa is TRUTH. The reason is simple. Some Nigerians are experts in hijacking men and women of power. The deification process is often swift and irreversible"

He went further to state's I’m writing you today, not because I expect you to act on my suggestions, but to put

it on record that someone gave you the true picture of things. I’m also hoping that some of your friends will read and interpret to you, in a sober moment…

Parts of the messages read this: Nigeria is in big trouble. Our economy has virtually collapsed. And what’s the way out? You’ve been wasting too much money at a time that requires absolute frugality. Please, stop this reckless propensity for wasting scarce resources. Purchasing Presidential jets, building outlandish monuments, distributing cash as palliatives, etc, are signs of a failed and careless government. If you can curb the excessive spending of your government, you will free up a lot of resources for serious development.

I believe you’re frittering away our resources because you desperately crave a second term. But the best assurance of a second term is PERFORMANCE. Nigerians are not expecting you to turn water into wine but they don’t want you to turn their wine into water, MOMODU declare.
