President Bola Tinubu's inauguration address was criticized by the Labour Party (LP) as being underwhelming.
Tinubu's inauguration address, according to Obiora Ifoh, the LP National Publicity Secretary, showed the "shallowness and policy incongruity" he wishes to provide Nigerians with.
The 16th President of Nigeria, Tinubu, took the oath of office on Monday.
Ifoh disagreed, calling Tinubu's claim that he was fairly elected president of Nigeria "a slap on the faces of millions of Nigerians."
The Labour Party expressed its disappointment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's inauguration speech, which it said "clearly exposed the shallowness and policy incongruity that his administration, while it lasts, is hoping to bequeath to Nigerians."
"But today, Nigerians were horrified by Tinubu's brazenness and joy in claiming that his election was fair. We view this boldness as a slap in the face of millions of Nigerians who exercised their right to vote but were still defrauded by the combined might of the state's institutions and the brutal brigandage used against them.
"APC destroyed this country, and we must prevent it from getting worse. We must become aware of our responsibilities to hold people in positions of authority responsible."
