1. He took the hardest economic decisions instead of preserving a lie.
Removing fuel subsidy and liberalising FX were painful, but they addressed distortions that had become fiscally unsustainable. Reuters has consistently reported that these reforms were harsh, but central to stabilising public finances and investor confidence.

2. The economy is hurting less chaotically than before.
The pain is real, but macro indicators have improved: Reuters reported a 2024 balance-of-payments surplus, and reserves rose sharply into 2025–2026. A president should be judged not only by comfort today, but by whether he is rebuilding the foundation.

3. He made states financially stronger.
FAAC distributions have risen significantly since subsidy removal. The Finance Ministry reported **₦1.578 trillion** shared in March 2025 alone, while later analysis showed total FAAC allocations rose sharply year-on-year. States now have more money; the real question is whether governors are using it well.

4. He pushed the most serious progress yet on state police.
Reuters reported on **June 11, 2026** that Nigeria’s parliament advanced the constitutional bill enabling state police, with Tinubu backing it. That is not a slogan; it is concrete movement on a reform Nigerians have debated for years.

5. He has moved power supply forward, even if the sector is not yet fixed.
Reuters reported Nigeria’s electricity output surged to nearly **6,000 MW** in March 2025 after grid-overhaul progress. Government also approved **₦185 billion** to clear gas debts and support generation. In power, progress is not perfection, but progress still counts.

6. He kept higher education more stable than the ASUU-darkness era Nigerians remember.
Nigeria suffered an **eight-month ASUU strike in 2022** before Tinubu. Since he took office, there have been disputes and warning actions, but not a repeat of that prolonged nationwide paralysis. He also approved part-payment of withheld salaries to lecturers in 2023 to cool tensions.

7. He opened a real student-support pipeline.
Tinubu signed the reworked student-loan law in 2024, and by April 2026 reporting said **1.38 million beneficiaries** had received support amounting to over **₦242 billion**. That is not theory; that is direct educational intervention at scale.

8. He raised the minimum wage instead of pretending wages could remain frozen.
Reuters reported the federal minimum wage process culminated in a higher floor after difficult negotiations. It does not solve everything, but it matters in a reform period where households are under pressure.

9. He is building long-term economic tools, not only making speeches.
Reuters reported new moves on consumer credit and a national credit-guarantee framework to widen access to finance for citizens and businesses. That is the kind of structural support that matters if growth is to become more broad-based.

10. He governs like a man carrying the burden of office, not like a protest candidate performing outrage.
Tinubu may not be perfect, but he has shown willingness to take politically costly decisions, push reforms, negotiate wages, decentralise policing, strengthen state finances, and keep working through turbulence. Nigeria needs endurance, not just excitement.

Conclusion:
President Tinubu inherited a distorted economy, a weak power system, overstretched public finance, and a long security crisis. He has not solved everything, but he has moved on difficult reforms, strengthened state revenues, pushed power and policing reform, avoided a repeat of the old ASUU paralysis, and expanded support through wages and student loans. **That is why I will be voting for him in 2027: not because the journey is painless, but because the direction is serious.**

Hmmmm...the security situation of Nigeria left the room.

May God in his Infinite mercies continue to bless you!

I am always delighted and proud to know we still have sane and enlighten people on Earth.

Don’t just vote, sell him to friends, foes, family and enemies, may be they will see the light.

It’s the best you can do!

God bless you and His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Even Burna boy dey complain.. 😂😂😂

Drop your robotic response and prove that the OP lied. Did Tinubu implement all the things the OP listed? Yes or No?

tinubu is the worst thing to ever happen to Nigeria.
Voting for tinubu is a declaration of hatred and wickedness against Nigeria and her citizens.
tinubu must go

OP Tinubu took tough calls. Nobody’s denying that. But “serious direction” has to show up in your pot, your meter, and your safety. Right now the macro slides say “reforming,” the micro slides say “we’re still bleeding.” check my counter thread in politics section.

I agree with you. but macro still matters.
Macro is important because a sick foundation cannot produce a healthy house.

If the exchange rate is chaotic, reserves are weak, subsidy is bleeding government, and debt is choking the treasury, then life at the market stall will only get worse over time.

So macro improvement is like repairing the engine of a bus.
Passengers may still be sweating inside for now, but if the engine is not fixed, the bus will not move at all. A fair conclusion is this: the reforms are working at the level of stabilization, reserves, ratings, market confidence, and some structural repair — but they are not yet working enough in the kitchen, transport park, and market stall. Both things can be true at the same time.

This is another robotic response. I would have preferred an intelligent reply.

That bandits have the audacity to do online giveaways only shows how much of a failure the Tinubu government is. People have been made so poor that they will now do anything to get money to survive, regardless of the moral failure behind those actions. And can you really blame them? Those we call leaders have enriched themselves through corruption while there is not enough money for the rest of the country. To those hailing this government, keep it up. Continue to believe that I and others are only full of hatred for Tinubu because of Peter Obi. By the time your stupidity goes full cycle, you will learn how not to be a failure-validating tool in the hands of politicians

Brilliant analysis… Indeed The President has done brilliantly and bravely.

The major thing I disagree with him for is giving state Governors bulk of subsidy proceeds, i.e increased state allocations with nothing to show for it from most governors..

The President should have channeled bulk of the Proceeds directly to:
1. Power
2. LG - he can enforce the for God’s sake
3. Direct disbursement and empowerment to Nigerians - cutting off state governors
4. micro-economic stabilisation - massive investment in Agric food chain - from the farm to the markets, including logistics. Foreign countries do this by buying direct from farmers to markets

Lastly but most importantly the President should keep doing more on security… no investment is too small.

I am not even a supporter of any politician, yet you have failed woefully by being unable to market your candidate or demarket the OP's candidate.

Please go find something to eat, and have a nice day!

Data boi, stop worrying yourself about issues beyond your capacity or what your nightmare PO is worth. Concentrate on the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr you snatched and grabbed for to favout you first and your family.

While at that, report to your faaake guru str*tegist to free you and your favoured families from the den of bandits
