Once again, just to clarify for the Obidient hard of hearing, I am not a President Tinubu anything.

Having said that, I am honoured that I am in that list alongside courageous, truthful and esteemesd posters, wow.

Then keep quiet!

Elusive001:
Then keep quiet!

Let me understand your logic, we have a discussion portal on Nigerian matters, yet you who are just another ordinary moniker is telling me not to state my opinion.

You might have to block me as I don't intend to keep quiet, ok.

Ten Reasons I Will Be Voting For President Tinubu In 2027 by CharlesCNG
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[b]. He opened a real student-support pipeline.[/b]
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[b]. He governs like a man carrying the burden of office, not like a protest candidate performing outrage.[/b]
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.**

Any person whose name is on that list is a disgrace to humanity.

Hallucinations elevates paupers to elite status, till a slap resets their brains to factory settings.

You are a gathering of losers
