@instablog9ja Something is clearly broken in this PBAT.What he called FX stability is selling dollar whenever the naira collapses & then trying to buy it back with shrinking reserves, that is not sustainable FX policy? No serious country stabilizes its currency with this kind of firefighting.

“Subsidy that was a burden to the entire country was removed, and ever since we have achieved foreign exchange stability” — Tinubu says during meeting with global investors in Paris

@msmocrown "Will"

@msmocrown Your amnesia is very convenient. No one has played divisive politics more than the Drug lord.The issue was never abt Obi,it’s the hatred directed to Igbo's. It funny y'all think that people who survived a civil war & rebuilt from scratch we be moved by Yoruba's bitterness.Naaa.

Nigeria has done politics and elections for years and haven't been divided along tribe and religion until Peter Obi came.

@Pathfinder077 Una no go kill us. Mr first educated president in Nigeria.

Tinubu is the most educated among the presidential candidates He’s the most competent among them He has the best records among them He’s the smartest among them He’s the most logical among them So now tell me why I shouldn’t vote for Tinubu?

@ArcSadam In today’s Nigeria, failure is celebrated, certificate forgry become normal, drug records legalized, looting repackaged as governance while mass killings by bandits become routine. More people are being killed in Nigeria daliy than in Ukraine/Iran where there's war.What aShamble!

Since the return of democratic governance in Nigeria, no president has performed excellently in both Politics and governance at the same time like TINUBU.

@Official_Isaaco Tinubu’s supporters keep confusing party building with governance leadership. They’re two entirely different competencies.PBAT has the mobilizing instinct of a party operator,but he is failing woefully where it matters economic stability, institutional reform,& national security.

Mention one person that Peter Obi built politically. If you can mention just one, I will give you 100k.

@aonanuga1956 What a disgraceful organized act. Of course he’s meeting with imaginary investors. The same Lebanese contractors he awarded 79% of our annual budget in one contract. None of them is an investor.This is one of the most reckless governance decisions in recent history

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT TINUBU ENGAGES GLOBAL INVESTORS IN PARIS President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, France, emphasising transparency and fiscal discipline, and explaining the rationale for the swift implementation of bold reforms.   At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria's strong GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.   He said Nigeria recorded 11.2% GDP growth in dollar terms last year, a record that reinforced the country's ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy in 2030.   Oyedele emphasised the government's near-term priorities of translating reforms into results for the Nigerian people. He also pledged to publish quarterly financial data.   The Director General of the Debt Management Office, Mrs Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s responsible approach to debt financing and its focus on sustainable debt management.   The investors were from Citibank and France's Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson. There were also BlueCrest, the Britain- and South Africa-based Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, US groups Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM) and Mesarete Capital.   President Tinubu, who left Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation trip, said the economic reform program of his administration includes measures to remove economic distortions and stabilise macroeconomic indicators, laying the foundation for sustained inclusive growth.   He said his government is committed to deepening reforms, enhancing transparency across the oil value chain, and implementing a multi-pronged security strategy, including police decentralisation and disrupting terrorist financing.   "The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians", President Tinubu said.   Some of the investors who spoke at the meeting commended the government's transformative reforms and expressed optimism about the Nigerian economy.   One of the investors asked President Tinubu about his post-2027 agenda. He promised to strengthen fiscal discipline and transparency, and to deliver policy consistency. Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President, (Information & Strategy) May 5, 2026

@DOlusegun He met with the same Lebanese contractors who were awarded 79% of our annual budget in one contract. These are not investors, they’re beneficiaries of a bloated contract, but sure, let’s keep acting like this isn’t the dumbest political theatre in the country.

@HBMayana_ You mean to send Nigeria to 6ft x.com/i/status/20513…

Am I the only one who thinks that only Bola Ahmed Tinubu has what it takes to fix Nigeria?

@MasterBolaji It’s obvious tax revenue will increase when VAT is raised from 4% to 7.5%.That’s why collections jumped from ₦10.5 trillion in 2022 to ₦28 trillion in 2025.Q why did oil revenue collapse? As a Minister of Petroleum,PBAT need to explain why oil dropped 48% despite $18B APC spent

Nigeria now depends less on oil for money. Before, oil gave about 75% of govt income; now it’s about 25%. Taxes from other sectors now bring most of the money, about 87%. Non-oil taxes have grown fast, and total tax money has nearly tripled since 2022. This is GROWTH! BAT 👏

@Makinde40182251 @MasterBolaji That's your analysis, the state of the nation now indicates that people are hungry and suffering. You can't drive from one estate to another in Lagos without thugs/beggers attacking you for money. No electricity, Insecurity... we are yet to see what Tinubu will campaign on.

@JamesT23299 @MasterBolaji Only Maliya will give Tinubu 80% of kano North,then Ganduje,Garo,Abba,Shekarau,Abba Bichi and others that command a lot of supporters in Kano but you people think Only Kwankwanso hae organic supporters.

Tinubu has about 31 governors, around 87 of 109 senators, and 261 of 360 House members in his pocket, and he won’t win the election. But Peter Obi will win because he has Kwankwaso, Binani, and Aisha Yesufu? Haba na!

@mamatii001 @officialABAT @PeterObi But party building is political skill & governance is a statecraft skill.Completely different competencies. Now PBAT has joined leaders like Mugabe,Zuma,Berlusconi & Chavez that built powerful political structures but wrecked their countries becuz they lacked governance capacity.

Dangote has been a business man 46 years, he succeed. *Oyedepo has been managing his church for 45 years he succeed!! @officialABAT has been managing his party for 27 years, he succeeds. Just in 4 years, @PeterObi has crossed 4 political parties, how will he succeed? Don't be like obi ooo. Consistency is the key.

@DeeOneAyekooto It’s unfortunate that our president is a global nomad than a head of state. Since 2023,he has spent more time in France than in Nigeria with our money. Meanwhile,country he’s supposed to lead is dealing with insecurity,inflation, and hardship.Isn't that what we shld worried abt?

Rabid ObiDENTs, in their desperate search to justify the shameless nomadic character of Peter Obi whose thoughtless political decamping worries his town criers, now brought out a picture to claim that Tinubu also decamps from one party to another, so Obi doing same isn't a sin! A careful look at the picture shows only one thing......IGNORANCE. This is what ObiDENTs are known for right from when they were IPOB/Biafra Radio before changing their name to ObiDENTs. However, we need to enlighten innocent readers. Yes, Tinubu was a member of SDP between 1991 and 1993 where he was a ranking Senator in Nigeria. A foremost supporter of MKO Abiola and June 12, 1993 election. However, after the annulment of June 12 election, by November 1993, Obi’s boss, Sani Abacha had taken over power via military coup, he banned all political activities and proscribed SDP the political party that won the Presidential election in 1993, he also proscribed NRC too, the opposition party. For the supporters of Abacha’s employee, Obi, to now insinuate that Tinubu decamped from SDP is another proof of IPOB's stinking propaganda which had always failed the satanic group! By 1999, after the death of Obi's Boss Sani Abacha, the military returned Nigeria back to democracy and only three political parties were allowed to participate, these were, PDP, APP and AD. So Tinubu didn't decamp to the AD, he was a founding member of the AD and by 2006, when the crisis in Afenifere tore AD into pieces, Tinubu didn't decamp, instead he formed his political party called AC that is Action Congress which he later changed to Action Congress of Nigeria ACN. It was this ACN that merged with Buhari’s CPC to become APC in 2013 till date. It will be hypocritical of anyone to turn this heroic political metamorphosis into a ridiculous Obi Nomadic Movement. Obi is a career decampee. He started with the PDP, decamped to APGA, decamped back to PDP, decamped again to LP, decamped again to ADC and currently now to NDC. Today, the actual SDP of 1993 is no longer existing. AD is gone. AC/ACN is no more existing. Only APC exists. All these have become APC. Think deeply, you will understand. On the other hand, APGA, PDP, LP, ADC are all still existing, yet Obi moves nomadically away from them to another. He neither creates anything, not involved in any merger, alliance etc, just pursuing selfish interest all over the place.

@futballjunkie1 @MasterBolaji The weird thing abt Tinubu’s supporters are y'all constant self glorification. Nigerians cant feel any achievement. Market women still struggling.Farmer still feels unsafe. Cab driver can’t afford fuel. Until ordinary pple feel the change, all these proclamations remain audio.

@JamesT23299 @MasterBolaji These are the rhetorics that make people to say that you people are dumb. Did you know the job Wike alone did for Tinubu in 2023? No incumbent president have had the level of support that Tinubu has presently. Not Jonathan, not Buhari. You're just being delusional

@HAHayatu This is the problem,instead of engaging ideas, you people jump straight to insults whenever someone makes a personal political choice.Has this regional and tribal politics helped Northerners,Mr Hamma? What exactly has it delivered for the North in the last two decades? Rest abeg.

Kwankwaso have a very big task in the north that he claims to be his in his alliance with Obi, everywhere you go people just insult him and say he is out to drag the north backward. I think this his Obi alliance is his biggest political miscalculation. The reality is the north will never vote Obi because he picked Kwankwaso and there is no human being available now that can make the north vote Obi.

@ctpnetwo @MasterBolaji The last Nigeria NBS MPI rate was released in 2022, the next report are not yet release, so I asked again where are you getting your numbers from ? According to available 2022 record,not your self proclaimed projection record, SW are not technical doing better than SS or SE.

@JamesT23299 @MasterBolaji You asked about regional good governance, I gave them to you. If there are good governance in other regions, as the SW with poverty rate of 12%, the projected poverty rate for the entire country would not be up to 62%.

Mark Chidiebere was arrested after talking with some soldiers about “changing the government.” That's coup plotting in disguise. It’s okay to criticise, but involving soldiers in politics is serious. The Nigerian Army saw it as a threat to national safety. It is well with him.

@ctpnetwo @MasterBolaji Your state poverty index does not aligned with the global MPI standard. No state in Nigeria currently has a consistent functional public school system,public healthcare system or basic living standard indicators like access to water & sanitation. So what metrics did NBS use?

@ctpnetwo @MasterBolaji Are you measuring good governance based on regional poverty rate? You kidding Mr Abbey? Nigeria rank the 5th poorest country in the world and you are here playing tribal/regional poverty indexes? According PWC Nigeria’s poverty rate is projected to rise to 62% by end of 2026.

@JamesT23299 @MasterBolaji First Kwara is not in the South West. Secondly keep your $5k. Updated regional poverty rate: 2025 North East: ~71.9% North West: ~64.8% North Central: ~42.7% South East: ~42.3% South South: ~21.2% South West: ~12.2% Source: World Bank/NBS data 2025.

@ctpnetwo @MasterBolaji I will send the Tap tap right away to you, if you can tell me what exactly your regoin is enjoying as a good governance the rest of Nigeria are missing?

@JamesT23299 @MasterBolaji My region has never lacked good governance. That is why it carries the burden of bad governance from other regions. How can you say this government has failed with macro and micro economic stability, GDP, NGX, education, lower inflation, infrastructure, external reserve, etc.?
