President Bola Tinubu has disclosed that he was a little bit stubborn at the beginning of his administration.


Tinubu disclosed this during an interfaith breaking of fast with senior journalists and media executives at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

He also disclosed that his administration has opened up on the principles of true federalism to the extent that local governments now get direct allocation from the Federal Government.


“There’s no morning that I ever leave my house without going through the newspapers. It’s an addiction. I read all of you.

“It might not be in full detail, but headline, the one that would hit me and the ones that won’t.


“At the beginning of this administration, I was just a little bit stubborn, looking at opportunities to correct things and make life more easier for the downtrodden.

“We’ve opened up the principle of federalism to the extent that local governments are now getting their money, but how they use it is in your hands. So, don’t bombard me alone,” Tinubu said.

As if he has done anything meaningful, U are not just stubborn, but clueless.

Stubborn ke?

You were not stubborn oo.

You were just being you like those before you.

Power drunk.

Baba we need results. End of discussion sir

And now the man speaks cos 2027 elections is by the corner. Leadership is no jokes, if Peter obi won the suffering and poverty would’ve been quadrupled by now. Can obi or any president in Nigerian history be this humble? Humble enough to admit minor lapses in his governance? This is true leadership. Learn from tinubu.

Stubbornness without any meaningful impact. You talk too much self. Asiyan president.

Oga Just shut up Mr man, Mr Stubbornness

You are still very stubborn, sir. You are only shifting ground and acting humble because of your reelection bid.

Big cap
