The Great Job Tinubu is Doing
By Reno Omokiri
On behalf of #RenosNuggeteers locally and globally, on this day of our Lord, Friday, May 23, 2025, I wholeheartedly endorse the President of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for a second term in office, God sparing his life. I urge all my supporters to line up behind the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda so we can unite as one nation under God to make Nigeria great again.
President Tinubu has reduced our total national debt by $14 billion from the $108.2 billion he inherited from the Buhari administration on May 29, 2023, to $94.2 billion today.
Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu, has completely, entirely, and totally paid off its debt to the International Monetary Fund. The IMF itself has struck us off the list of IMF debtor nations, which confirmed this in an official release on its website.
Additionally, through its lead economist for Nigeria, Alex Sienaert, the World Bank revealed last week that the economy grew by 4.6% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2024 and pointed to continued expansion in early 2025 based on high-frequency business indicators.
Also, in the third quarter of 2024, Nigeria recorded a record-breaking trade surplus of ₦5.81 trillion, the absolute highest in our history. A surge in non-oil exports drove this surplus. Our exports were at N20.5 trillion and imports at ₦14.7 trillion.
The last two years under President Tinubu mark the first time since the Shagari administration that the Academic Staff Union of Universities has not had an industrial action, and academic calendars in Nigerian universities have gone on uninterrupted.
Meanwhile, a total of ₦32.8 billion has been awarded in student loans to an unprecedented approximately 200,000 students, a first in Nigeria.
This is happening as both the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project and the Sokoto-Badagry Express Way Project, along with the East-West Road and the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Highway, are simultaneously going on at full throttle.
Just as capital inflow into Nigeria soared by 66.27% under this administration.
But it is probably in security that this administration has best outperformed the last government.
Throughout the eighth year of General Buhari, not a single bandit leader was arrested, killed or convicted. But under the Tinubu administration, more than fourteen notoriously murderous bandit leaders have been killed, including the following:
- Kachalla Ali Kawaje
- Kachalla Halilu Sububu
- Kachalla Damina
- Kachalla Dangote
- Kachalla Jafaru
- Kachalla Barume
- Kachalla Shehu
- Tsoho
- Kachalla Yellow Mai Buhu
- Yellow Sirajo
- Kachalla Dan Muhammadu
- Kachalla Makasko
- Yellow Hassan
- Boderi
- Kachalla Dan Ba Birki
- Auta Dan Mai Jan Kai
And as a result of this, peace has returned to Kaduna and its neighbouring states. No more do we see photos of prominent persons having meetings with heavily armed Kachalla/bandit leaders as occurred under the previous administration. Instead, bandits are being killed, arrested, tried and convicted.
During the eight years of General Buhari, parts of Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto and other states were occupied by bandits. Nigerians living in Abuja could hardly travel to Kaduna. Almost a thousand terrorists in motorcycles invaded Kuje prison and freed over 500 of their fellow terrorists. Boko Haram militants were being rehabilitated and feted, with the government throwing graduation parties for them at which they wore trendy clothes with gifts given to them, while the orphans whose parents they killed were still in IDP camps.
Terrorists breached Kaduna Airport, and flights were diverted to Abuja. Bandits infiltrated the Nigerian Defence Academy, and soldiers were killed and abducted. Even the Abuja-Kaduna railway built by President Jonathan was bombed, and tens of Nigerians were either killed or abducted.
All that is history, as Nigeria is now more secure and has moved up in the Global Terror Index from the third most insecure country under Buhari to number six.
Especially as separatists who caused mayhem and havoc with the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra in Nigeria’s southeast region have been apprehended and are now facing trial in Nigeria and Finland, including their lynchpin, Nnamdi Kanu, and his minion, Simon Ekpa.
Finally, with cybersecurity threats, such as that posed to Nigeria by Binance, which was funnelling $25 billion out of Nigeria annually, even as it shielded terror suspects and kingpins through the anonymity it afforded them, the National Security Adviser took decisive action that shut down their operations, stabilising Nigeria’s fiscal regime.
Therefore, I urge all Nigerians to join me and others in supporting President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office by 2027.
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
