Tinubu carries heavier burden than Buhari – Osinbajo’s ex-spokesman, Akande

Laolu Akande, a former spokesman of Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said President Bola Tinubu has a heavier burden than ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

Akande said Tinubu was not just carrying the burden of promises but that of truncated hope.

The former presidential aide spoke on his Channels TV show, Inside Sources on Friday night.

He stressed that the country needed bold leaders to confront the multifaceted challenges in the area of security and economic problems.

According to Akande: “The burden that President Tinubu is carrying is heavier than that of President Buhari and it is important that it is said because now President Tinubu is not just carrying the burden of promise but he is carrying the burden of truncated hope.

“And it is good that he has rightly named his agenda Renewed Hope. Nigerians have placed so much expectations on the promises and now they are wondering how come they believed a lie.

“So, it is up to President Tinubu to show that those promises made were no lies.

“And that is why we are appealing to him today and all those in authority that the government be it executive, judiciary or legislature, it’s important to apply courage and boldness.”
