Every indices are getting worse both human development index, security index and human right index. It's all about media window dressing for him just like a certain candidate in Nigeria who loves moving around with cameras.

Do you mean ebilokan who promises but fails to deliver?

Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

They are trying to discredit him, because he chose to liberate his country from slavery. Not every country must practice democracy. Let him be

What of Paul Biya, Bola Tinubu and William Ruto in Kenya, why are the west against this man
Good question. A country should be allowed to develop on it's own term without external interference.
Ask all these emergency "Burkina Faso lovers" why they never cared about the country in the past when it was shipping it's resources to the west.
Poor pathetic beings.

This same country that recycled two military dictators for 16 of the 24 years of our renewed democracy huh

If military rule is better then why is Pakistan not as good as India in socioeconomic indicators as well as insecurity?

I don’t care about any system of government, so far is for the good of the citizens then is fine…. You can’t impose your ideology of governance… I keep telling people democracy can’t work everywhere…. Just like in Nigeria is our democracy working?

This is a rubbish article. That man escaped 18 assassination attempt on his life and you think everyone is stupid to believe your stupid article. Africans are beginning to wake up so your stupid opinion means nothing.

This journalist must be paid

Since one Africa president who regularly visit France and has been paid millions of dollars to assasin8 Traore but has not succeeded, they have started paying some urchins to run cheap propaganda.

Our eyes on you guys.

Is democracy good enough for Africa? It's a forced system of governance on us just like Christianity and islam.

If Traore is trying to tear democracy apart so as to wield power, as long as he's working and more interesting, breaking the colonist off that part of Africa soil, we are good.

Let Nigeria president continue in his assisting French president's .nonsense

Long live Ibrahim Traore.
Posts like this one are Western-sponsored Propaganda aimed at creating a bad image for anyAfrican leader who has the interest of his people at heart.

For anyone in doubt, please go through a post I made two years ago here on Nairaland https://www.nairaland.com/7943291/why-west-assassinate-african-leader

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Since tinubu came back from France
APC whatsapp groups and Twitter handles led by people from the SW have initiated anti traore campaigns.
They hate it when other countries do well and are compared to the aso rock drug capon

Dear tinubu supporters just know we are ahead of you
The democracy oyibo sold to Africa how from has it taken Africa?
Why don't they force democracy on Saudi and qatar. Africa always bends to their will. They sign treaties that make dem sell out our young men for jakpa and extradition. Take all our resources and still try to dictate what we do

Timemanager the op is on APC payroll. They have brought this campaign to nairaland. Watch out for them. The Twitter campaign version is collecting slapps globally
Exactly! more funds have circulated. They’ve set up a UK army base in one of the northern states in Nigeria and even cut down the electricity supply to Niger Republic. Thieffnubuu is nothing but a puppet for France and the UK. He has absolutely nothing to offer Nigerians, only the interests of the Western countries.
Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by Savenigeria2023: 4:21pm On Apr 28, 2025
Anyone observing how all the APC online apologists suddenly turns against Traore including Reno
1. They have agreed in their propaganda meeting to influence the narrative and perception of Traore
2. US has put Tinubu under pressure to oust Traore through force or media propaganda (coming after Trump's outbursts)

Its all a game of interest. They care less about Africans .... Traore is not worse than Tinubu, Paul Biya and other sit-tight African presidents. His crime is his anti-West policies
Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by 080bjaked(m): 4:22pm On Apr 28, 2025
Leave Burkina Faso alone, they are doing better than Nigerians. Focus on Nigeria's problems.
They're not dealing with kidnapping, corruption or ethnic/religious cleansing at the level Nigeria is.
What advancement has the french-backing of Yoweri Museveni or Paul Biya brought to Uganda or Cameroon in the decade?

While I smell APC on this smear campaign on Traoré, it should be noted that many of the Upper Volta military government’s attitude towards France is stupid. I agree that Western Europe and North America have taken a lot from Africa but what they have given us is far greater. Without these guys we all would have been wiped out by either Arab slave traders or malaria.

Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by Heffalump(m):
This write up is sponsored, no doubt. We saw how the West tried to bring down Dangote Refinery.

If Ibrahim Traore is not accepted and supported in Africa with the giant strides he's making right now, by defeating the natural law of gravity and Western subjugation, then we Africans can never be set free from eternal slavery in the hands of these Whites.

Honestly, it's a bitter truth that no matter how good you're in this world, you cannever be accepted by all and sundry.

Ibrahim Traore has surpassed what democratic governments cannot achieve in many decades for less than 5 years. If all African countries including Nigeria can break away from Western dominanation and neocolonization, the continent would have been one of the greatest instead of taking the current last position. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by spiSeyi: 4:26pm On Apr 28, 2025
When the West is about to kill any African leader who is for the liberation of his ppl from neocolonialism they will call him bad name to hang him. This was how Gaddafi was called bad name till dey end him.
And as for the young Traore he shouldn't repeat Gaddafi and Sankara's mistake he can transform his country if he really means it and not like other African greedy power hungry leaders he should take a clue from Mandela who transformed SA 4 live within his 4yrs in office. Traore should create a new people constitution that won't tolerate corruption, supervise a fair election and allow the Burkinabes choose their leader. You leave the stage while the ovation is loudest. He should do the needful on time and return to the barracks if he truly love his ppl
Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by Jeezy: 4:28pm On Apr 28, 2025
The bad propaganda begins; the goal is to force out a good leader dead or alive. This is stage one.
Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by KingsleyCEO: 4:28pm On Apr 28, 2025
The truth of the matter is that na Nigeria carry this guy matter for head o because what we call democracy appears not to be working for the common man and more.
They are actually doing all it take to encourage a military take over.

Then again, Bakinafaso nor dey use internet? They should come and tell us their own side of the story.

I don tire to they hear Ibrahim cancels school fees to university level, Ibrahim makes health care free, Ibrahim to start paying unemployed citizen in dollars monthly...
