In a recent interview shared by the Official YouTube channel of Trust TV on Saturday, May 23, 2026, PDP chieftain Jafar Bello raised concerns over the performance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as the country approaches another election cycle.…....
According to him, “What has not been done in three years cannot be done in the next one year which is an election year.” Speaking during the programme, Bello questioned the feasibility of achieving significant progress within a short period, especially as political activities begin to dominate national attention. He argued that governance often slows during election periods, making it difficult for administrations to implement meaningful reforms or complete major projects.
Highlighting what he described as unmet expectations, Bello stated that many Nigerians are yet to see tangible improvements in key sectors despite the time already spent in office. He stressed that public confidence is largely shaped by visible outcomes, not promises or projections.
Bello maintained that voters are becoming more critical and are likely to assess leaders based on their track records rather than campaign rhetoric. He added that political leaders seeking re-election must contend with growing scrutiny from citizens who expect accountability and measurable results.
His remarks reflect wider public conversations about governance, performance, and voter expectations as Nigeria gradually moves toward the 2027 general elections.
