1. Tinubu has removed subsidy on PMS.
2. Tinubu has unified the exchange and removed corruption and subsidy from the system.
3. Tinubu has removed subsidy partially from the electricity tariff system by introducing Band A, B and C.
4. Tinubu has reformed the tax system for better efficiency in the collection system.
5. Tinubu has reformed the local government administration system. LGAS now get their allocation directly from FAAC.
6. Tinubu has reformed the policing system in Nigeria. The legal requirement to amend the constitution in order to introduce State police has now been met.
7. Tinubu has reformed tertiary education by enabling them to charge higher schools fees while introducing NELFUND loan to help indigent students meet up with the fees.
8. Tinubu has reformed the oil sector and open up multiple investments to help increase our oil production. Today, we now produce 1.8million bpd from the 1.2 that Tinubu met in 2023.
9. Tinubu has introduced the construction of mega highways to open up the entire country for easy movement of people and goods.

So, above is enough evidence to show that Bola Tinubu has a very good understanding of the challenges of the country and he's working relentlessly to fix them. Based on your writeup, the only area Tinubu has not gone all out to fully reform is full introduction of cost reflective electricity tariffs for all Nigerians. To be honest, anyone advocating for a nationwide implementation of the Band A kind of tariff at this point in time is an enemy of Nigeria or lack a good understanding of how reforms are managed.

It will be counterproductive and politically suicidal to unburden all these tough decisions on Nigerians all at the same time. The reform is gradual and ongoing and that is why Band A was introduced to urban areas first. Even though the intent and the direction of the government is clearly towards full liberalization of the energy sector, it will be suicidal not to subsidies the electricity of poor Nigerian on Band C for now.

So, we've seen the clear directions of the Tinubu administration. Now, let's exactly examine the policy alternatives that the candidates you and lots of others are supporting.

Atiku and Peter Obi
1. They both want to return sunsidy on PMS
2. Atiku intends to reverse the floating of the exchange rate system and return dollars back to Aboki in zone.
4. Both of them have opposed the Band A tarrif introduced by the Tinubu administration. They will reverse the band tarrif and move the country far away from a cost reflective tarrifs that you are advocating for.
5. Atiku is against state policing. He prefers fulani insurgents to keep killing and displacing Christian in the north central. Peter Obi has no opinion on State police.
6. Atiku intends to convert the NELFUND loan to gift. Beneficiaries will no longer be asked to pay back and the scheme will eventually die a natural death due to poor funding.
7. Both Peter Obi and Atiku want to end the construction of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway. However, they have said absolutely nothing a out the Lagos-Badagry highway so as not to offend northerners.

So, explain to me exactly why you're supporting the removal of Tinubu who is the only person that is trying to implement all the policies you think are necessary for the development of the country. How exactly are you different from the people you're accusing of wanting their side in power when you are doing exactly the same by supporting Peter Obi whose policy alternatives contradicts what you're proposing as the best alternatives for the country. Make it make sense please.

Briliant post. Over to you nairalanda1

The nightmare of a certain tribe, he conquered them and put them back where they belong

Every country has their own version of Obidient clowns

So, they still have something left despite all the US bombings, shame on the US then

Obidients no go still hear, I think they should be encouraged to go, so they can appreciate some things they take for granted here

Energy of substandard projects like the one below

I really hate this man. He talks like he has the brain of a four year old child.

Alhamdullilah

Godfullsam:
What policies and reforms are you talking about?

You mean the same reform that have rendered a lot of people poor and homeless due to poverty and insecurity?

Dey play..

Reforms are not meant to be comfortable. They bring initial hardship for better future

boxypane:
The FG knows its citizens. Who will be so senseless to do such if the military were on that road. Get the airing erring motorists arrested and fine dem wetin no good

Fixed. It’s erring, not airing

People from that part of the country are so weird

Honestly, this looks like a certain nairalander1
His real life situation is totally different from the book theories he espouses

D
No Obidient will pass this test

Why all these I0wIQ posts making FP on nairand?

Fraudnaldo has no WC hat trick to his name while Saka got one against quality opposition yesterday

mrvitalis:
This road reconstruction was not conceived by Tinubu administration
They didn’t award the contract
Tinubu government have not spend one kobo on this road yet taking credit

This is an MTN road done with a tax credit
Conceived and awarded by Buhari administration

Don’t get why Tinubu wants credit

You are misinforming people here. MTN will recover every kobo spent by not paying CIT due to the federal government, equivalent of the cost of the road project. So, it’s the money the FG should have taken from MTN as Company Income Tax that is being used for the project, FG still takes the credit for the project. MTN is not a charity organization

This is total transformation. I wonder why things like this gets hate in return rather than commendation

Juliette5803:
Kudos to otti, flooded cities are normal, he should work on drainage and a huge city reservoir

Kudos to Otti for the flood or what exactly?

It is really surprising how attacks on churches stopped the moment US stopped promoting and talking about Christian genocide

Why bring your personal matter to nairaland. Of what use is this information to anyone? If this is not to show off, I don’t really get the motive

nairalanda1:
Even then, I don't expect any state to be able to fund a properly working state police.

What they would fund is a police force worse than the Nigeria police which is in a bad state
Forget politics. Forget party. This isn't even an attack on Tinubu or Obi, Na statement of reality.
Even if your atte volunteers, you won't get the good service you want.

So, what do you suggest Mr Pseudo-intellectual? We should just sit down, do nothing and watch criminals overrun the country because of what you think?

I thought Obi supporters said the war in Iran shouldn’t have had any impact on petrol prices in Nigeria. So why should a US-Iran truce reduce petrol prices to 900?

CharlesCNG:
"Tinubu is not doing too well, therefore let's try Peter Obi or someone else and if he fails, we'll rinse and repeat."

That is not a governing philosophy.

That is a gambling philosophy.

Countries are not laboratories for political experiments.

The burden is not on me to reject Tinubu.

The burden is on Peter Obi or Atiku to demonstrate why he deserves to replace him.

"Let's try somebody else" is not an argument.

By that logic, every dissatisfied country should simply rotate incompetence and hope for miracles.

You cite Argentina.

Excellent.

Argentina did not elect Javier Milei merely because he was "someone else."

They elected him because he brought a radically different economic philosophy, spent years developing those ideas, and convinced enough Argentines that he had answers.

The question therefore is simple:

Beyond slogans and moral superiority, what exactly is Peter Obi's unique answer to Nigeria's security crisis?

What is his detailed energy policy?

What institutional reforms distinguish him from others?

What evidence from Anambra demonstrates transformational capacity?

These are legitimate questions.

And dissatisfaction with Tinubu does not automatically translate into confidence in Peter Obi.

Rejecting one doctor does not mean you should entrust your life to the next man in the waiting room.

In democracy, incumbents must earn renewal.

But challengers must earn replacement.

And "Anybody But Tinubu" is not a manifesto.

It is merely an emotion.

Wow! You finish work on that pseudo-intellectual nairalanda1
Nairalanda1, you must not run away please. Come back and answer the questions raised by this intelligent poster

Flangelo12:
That's a stupendous number in just one country in Africa.
We must not normalise it.

givedemwotowoto is trying to normalize it because
him people full the list. And he’s one of those shouting new Nigeria, supporting and normalizing crime because of tribalism

Anything that makes Obidients sad is what God should be doing for Nigeria

Israel has been trying to use divide and rule to cause crisis between Iran and Turkey

I don’t see much increase with the new fees, except you just want to wail over nothing. Maybe government should start paying subsidy for this one too
