Senator Ireti Kingibe, the lone representative of the Labour Party in the Nigerian Senate, has candidly admitted that the task of fixing Nigeria is proving more challenging than anticipated. In an interview on Arise TV, Kingibe disclosed that even President Bola Tinubu, the recent election winner, is also taken aback by the complexities of addressing the country’s issues.
This revelation from Kingibe comes at a time when the Labour Party continues to advocate for a new era of selfless leadership in Nigeria. The party gained prominence, particularly due to the substantial support for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who secured the second position in the election.
It’s worth recalling that before the presidential election, Senator Ireti Kingibe, in efforts to garner support for the Labour Party, expressed confidence in Peter Obi’s ability to tackle Nigeria’s problems. The acknowledgment of the challenges in fixing the country suggests a nuanced perspective on the realities faced by the current administration.
