Adamau Waziri, a former Board of Trustees member for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a part of the opposition coalition’s African Democratic Alliance, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of causing significant hardship for Nigerians over the past two years.
Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ on Friday, Waziri further asserted that Nigeria’s progress is contingent upon having the right leadership.

“We are asking for Nigerians to give us three months. The Bola Tinubu administration is asking for Nigerians to give it another two years.
“What are the records? The two years of Bola Tinubu have inflicted severe pain on Nigeria,” the former Minister of Police Affairs said.
“That’s why some are saying that if you give it another two years, it will be a catastrophe. So, if you are ready to wait for two years, we are saying don’t wait for two years. Give us the next two years so that we can change this country,” he added.
Waziri said that the government of the ruling All Progressives Congress would be removed democratically, dismissing thoughts that there were plans to topple Tinubu’s administration.
He stated, “If I have the democratic means to remove this government tomorrow, I will move this government. But I don’t have that which means I have to wait for two years to do so.
“We are not toppling this government. We are going to democratically remove this government. It is cheap blackmail to say people are planning to oust this government.
“No, we are challenging this government on the democratic process and to remove it. If I can do that, if there is a way that constitutionality and democracy allow us to remove this government tomorrow, we will do it.”

The former minister asserted that only Nigerians themselves can reverse the nation’s fortunes and rescue it from its current state, which he characterized as a “catastrophe of enormous proportion.”
He highlighted that the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s key members—including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Rivers and Osun State Governors Rotimi Amaechi and Rauf Aregbesola—are competent individuals with proven records of service.
These leaders, he believes, would significantly benefit both the party and the wider populace.
The ADC, he added, aims to “reverse a couple of things” that the current APC administration has inflicted upon Nigerians.
“What we have now is the negativity of all those good things we are expecting from a democratic leadership.
“Therefore, I am championing, among other patriotic Nigerians, to pursue the past whereby come 2027, the current leadership of Nigeria will be replaced by a more competent, more nationalistic, less corrupt, less tribalistic, less nepotic person to bring some measure of hope and good governance in Nigeria,” he added.
On the issue of zoning and calls for the South to complete its eight years at the presidency, he said such talks would not take Nigeria anywhere.
“I desist from reducing myself to North and South politics. I am for a Nigerian who will bring about some cohesion, who will stamp out corruption, who will penalise corrupt practices, who will not be nepotic, who will redress the economic hardship Nigerians are facing,” he added.
