Labour leader and National Coordinator of the All Workers Convergence (AWC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze, has urged President Bola Tinubu to stop acting like an emperor, stressing that the presidency is a temporary responsibility.

Emelieze made the remarks in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Sunday, where he criticised the current state of affairs in the country under Tinubu’s administration.

According to him, many Nigerians are experiencing severe economic and social difficulties, with insecurity, including kidnapping, banditry and other violent crimes, worsening the challenges faced by citizens.

The labour activist said government policies and programmes had added to the hardship experienced by many Nigerians, urging the President to listen to public concerns and assess the views of citizens.

He advised Tinubu to consider the legacy he would leave behind when he eventually leaves office.

Emelieze further maintained that the President should remember that Aso Rock is not a permanent possession, describing him as a temporary occupant of the nation’s seat of power.

“The summary of it all is that governance under your leadership has been hazardous and a serious threat to our democracy. You want to present yourself as a father figure, but your approach has not been in the best interest of the masses.

“Everything about your administration points to covert manipulations to suit an agenda best known to you. It appears you have a secret agenda, and the driving force has been how to covertly achieve it,” he said.

The labour leader also accused the administration of failing to adequately address insecurity and other national challenges, calling on the President to take corrective measures.

He said, “Mr President, you are overwhelmed, and the mindless killings are enough justification for you to resign or face impeachment. If you have a conscience, you ought to have voluntarily resigned.”

Emelieze urged Tinubu to review his approach to governance, saying there was still an opportunity to make changes.

“Please go online and see what Nigerians are saying about you. It is never too late; you can always amend your ways and make corrections,” he added.

He warned that political office is temporary and advised the President to consider how his administration would be remembered.

“For certain, your days are numbered in Aso Rock. You are not going to be in Aso Rock forever, and one day you will surely vacate the Villa. If you do not leave Aso Rock, Aso Rock will definitely leave you someday.

“Stop behaving like an emperor; you are not a landlord in Aso Rock,” Emelieze stated.
