Tinubu’s Achievements: Delta Deputy Gov, Diaspora Nigerians Disagree in Atlanta

During a working visit to Georgia, Nigerian Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, disagreed with Diaspora Nigerians over President Bola Tinubu's performance. Onyeme defended the administration's economic reforms and infrastructure projects, asserting that President Tinubu was a transformative leader positioning Nigeria for sustainable growth.

Conversely, community leaders like Raymond Ekuerhare and Chief Emeka Chimekwene argued that the administration had failed to deliver on its promises, citing high living costs, insecurity, poor road conditions, and claims of government irregularities. The disagreement sparked debate about the effectiveness of the federal government's policies, with some claiming that Nigerians abroad were not relying on social media alone to evaluate developments in Nigeria.

Onyeme accused Nigerians of spreading misinformation on social media, damaging Nigeria's international image. Ekuerhare, a business and community leader, disputed the administration's achievements, pointing to the poor condition of highways as evidence against claims of impressive infrastructure development. Chimekwene raised concerns over public procurement, alleging non-competitive contract awards, questioning transparency and accountability.

Onyeme responded by emphasizing the federal government's policies that created conditions for state and local governments to pursue development more effectively, emphasizing local government autonomy and infrastructure projects.
