Former Governor of Benue State and a former Senator who represented Benue North-East senatorial district in the ninth assembly, Gabriel Suswam, has asserted that the government of President Bola Tinubu cannot solve Nigeria’s economic problem. He made this statement during an interview on Channels Television.

Suswam said the Tinubu administration does not have what it takes to bring the country out of the economic woe inflicted by his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

“Well, it’s rather unfortunate right from the Buhari Government where the mantra of ‘Change’ was the singsong. Unfortunately, people didn’t ask what kind of change he was bringing into governance. ‘Is it positive change or negative change’? “What we experienced under those eight years were what dovetailed into what we’re experiencing today because whatever foundation that was built by the PDP was destroyed by that (Buhari) government.”

He stated that we now began a journey to the abyss. The state of the nation, economically, is nothing to talk about, it’s unfortunate that the current (Tinubu) leadership does not have what it takes to change the economic fortunes of this country,” he said.

According to him, the removal of petrol subsidy, floating of the naira, and increase in electricity tariff, among other policies is evident that the government is out to make things worse for the Nigerian masses.
