It's Too Early to Judge: Ex-Minister Abdullahi Says Rating Tinubu and Other Candidates After Seven Months is Unfair


Bolaji Abdullahi, the former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, has weighed in on the recent calls for the performance evaluation of presidential candidates, stating that it's still too early to do so. He argued that seven months is not enough time to assess a candidate's ability to govern effectively.


Abdullahi made his comments during a recent interview where he discussed the upcoming 2024 presidential election and the challenges facing Nigeria. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the candidates' plans and policies instead of making premature judgments based on limited information.


"It's not fair to rate the candidates after just seven months," Abdullahi stated. "This is a complex country with numerous challenges, and solving them requires time and careful planning. We should focus on their vision for the future and how they plan to address the issues that are important to Nigerians."


Abdullahi urged Nigerians to pay close attention to the candidates' policies and plans for the future. He believes that these factors are more important than judging candidates based on their performance in the past seven months.


Nigeria is facing a number of challenges, including a struggling economy, high levels of insecurity, and widespread poverty. Abdullahi believes that the next president should have a clear plan for addressing these issues and improving the lives of Nigerians.


Abdullahi also called for a rigorous debate among the candidates so that Nigerians can better understand their plans and policies. He believes that this is essential for a healthy democracy.


Abdullahi's opinion is shared by other political analysts and observers who believe that it's too early to judge the candidates' performance. They argue that more time is needed to assess their ability to lead the country effectively.


The call for the performance evaluation of presidential candidates has grown in recent months. Some Nigerians believe that the candidates should be held accountable for their promises and that the public should have a say in their selection.


The 2024 presidential election is still a long way off, but the race is already heating up. The candidates are starting to campaign and unveil their platforms. It's important for Nigerians to pay close attention to the candidates and their plans for the future so that they can make an informed decision when the time comes to vote.


Informed voting is essential for a healthy democracy. Nigerians should take the time to learn about the candidates and their plans before casting their ballots.


Abdullahi's comments are a reminder that judging a candidate's performance after seven months is unfair. Nigerians should focus on the candidates' vision for the future and their plans for addressing the challenges facing the country.

 Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 17th goal of the season to earn Manchester United a point after David de Gea had frustrated Chelsea with several superb saves. The visitors were thoroughly dominant in the first half at Old Trafford but were unable to find a way past De Gea, who made saves from Kai Havertz and N'Golo Kante. But Chelsea finally broke the deadlock midway through the second half when Marcos Alonso volleyed home from an angle.
