#TinubuIsAFailure #FixINEC #RigandDie2027 #ElectoralReform
May 29, 2025, marks two years since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed the mantle of leadership. Far from delivering the “Renewed Hope” promised, Tinubu’s administration has brought Nigerians two years of relentless suffering, economic sabotage, reckless ethnocentrism, and a brazen disregard for transparency, accountability, and justice.
While his media team spins a propaganda-laced list of “40 accomplishments,” a closer look reveals a nation hemorrhaging under incompetence and elite criminality.
DEBUNKING THE “40 MILESTONES” PROPAGANDA
The glossy “40 Milestones” published by Tinubu’s media center is not only a disingenuous attempt at whitewashing failure but an outright insult to the intelligence and suffering of Nigerians.
We will look at a few of the Tinubu administration have been spreading about his accomplishments:
Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND): Thousands of students can’t access the fund. It’s riddled with bottlenecks and bureaucracy.
Unified exchange rates: Far from boosting investor confidence, this policy created arbitrage opportunities for regime insiders while the naira collapsed to over ₦1,560/$1.
Increased oil production: At what environmental or fiscal cost? No accountability, no benefit to the masses.
$10bn saved from fuel subsidy: Yet petrol prices are unaffordable, and the “savings” vanished into thin air with no visible reinvestment.
Increased foreign reserves: This was achieved by reckless borrowing, not real economic productivity.
Digital training for 100,000 youths: Show us the jobs created. Empty certificates mean nothing without livelihoods.
Conditional cash transfers: A failed scheme, fraught with ghost beneficiaries and politically driven allocations.
Health insurance from 16 to 20 million: Hospitals remain underfunded. Over 90% of Nigerians still pay out of pocket.
National Infrastructure Fund: Where are the roads? Where are the bridges? 700 km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway fraud that has morphed to 30 km is the best they could showcase.
11,250 kidnapped victims freed: Where? When? No independent confirmation. Just empty numbers.
Nigerians are not fooled.
Behind the ribbon-cuttings and media spin lies a country in free fall. Bola Tinubu must offer a full, unreserved apology to the people of Nigeria for the betrayal, deception, and damage inflicted in just two years.
President Tinubu must apologize to Nigerians. These past two years have been marked by lies, corruption, arrogance, and failed leadership. Propaganda cannot mask poverty. Media spin cannot light up homes, feed families, or make streets safer.
A FEW OF THE MOST RECENT FAILURES OF TINUBU’S ADMINISTRATION
Ethnic Bigotry, Tribalism & National Disunity
From the outset, Tinubu’s administration has been unapologetically sectional. His appointments heavily favor the South-West and a specific ethnic bloc, with a lopsided distribution of key national portfolios. This has reignited dangerous ethnic tensions, deepened tribal divides, and dismantled the fragile national unity needed for progress. Far from building bridges, Tinubu has burned them.
Impact: Millions of Nigerians now feel alienated from their own government. Ethnic profiling, marginalization, and social unrest are rising.
The Terrorist Presidency of Bola Tinubu and His Thug Prince
Seyi Tinubu’s descent into violence mirrors his father’s bloody legacy. Bola Tinubu has turned the Nigerian presidency into a family business of terror and repression. His Lagos political empire was founded not on merit, vision, or service, but on patronage, coercion, ballot snatching, and cultic control of state resources. What Seyi did in Abuja is precisely what Tinubu perfected in Lagos: silence critics, buy opposition, unleash thugs, and terrorize the public into submission.
The horrifying attack on the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) inauguration, allegedly carried out by thugs linked to Seyi Tinubu, is not an isolated incident. It is a manifestation of a much deeper rot that consists of is a state-sponsored machinery of terror, coercion, and silencing of dissent, now expanding from Lagos to engulf the entire nation.
Terrorism & Enabling Extremists
Tinubu’s government maintains curious silence around Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a cleric with deep ties to bandit leaders and who was banned by Saudi Arabia. Gumi has openly advocated for amnesty for terrorists, yet enjoys free rein and tacit endorsement under Tinubu’s regime. Even more troubling, Tinubu downplayed the arrest of Ado Aliero’s wife and mother in Saudi Arabia for fake passports treating terrorism-linked forgeries as “bilateral misunderstandings.”
Impact: This emboldens insurgents, undermines military sacrifices, and signals that terrorism and forgery are negotiable crimes under the APC.
Budget Padding & Senator Ningi’s Persecution
Senator Abdul Ningi exposed ₦3.7 trillion in padded budget allocations in 2024. Rather than investigate, Tinubu’s regime punished the whistleblower. In 2025, budget padding has surpassed ₦15 trillion by independent estimates, yet silence reigns in the legislature.
Impact: Funds meant for schools, roads, and healthcare are lost in fraudulent allocations. The poor suffer, the corrupt thrive.
Ministerial Invisibility
After two years, there is no public record or performance report from any minister in Tinubu’s cabinet. Ministries are reduced to contract vending machines while citizens live in policy darkness.
Impact: Governance has become opaque. Public service delivery has collapsed. Ministries exist only on paper and payroll.
₦6.7 Billion for Traditional Rulers
Amid an economic crisis, Tinubu allocated billions to appease 32 traditional rulers. This is not governance, it is vote buying and elite patronage cloaked in tradition.
Impact: Schools collapse. Hospitals lack beds. But monarchs get mansions. A stark symbol of misplaced priorities.
₦31 Billion Wasted on VP Residence
Tinubu approved a ₦31 billion renovation for the Vice President’s mansion despite the VP refusing to live there. This is unjustifiable waste and systemic fraud.
Fraudulent Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway
Tinubu’s media praised the highway’s “completion,” yet only 30km has been built. Over $250 million in private property was destroyed without compensation. This is not development—it is economic violence.
2027 Election Rigging Plans
Faced with rejection by Nigerians, APC is already manipulating INEC, judiciary, and security agencies to rig 2027. The party has no hope in a fair election.
Education in Crisis
The 2024 JAMB suffered massive “glitches.” WAEC students use candles due to lack of electricity. A building collapsed on exam candidates in Kaduna. Yet the budget for education was slashed.
₦90 Billion on Hajj
In a secular state with dire economic woes, Tinubu spent ₦90 billion on Hajj sponsorships—funneling public funds into religious tourism with no returns.
Budget Padding in Capital Projects
Projects like:
- ₦393 Billion for 1,477 street lights,
- ₦114 Billion for 538 boreholes,
- ₦17.2 Billion for 43 town halls, and
- ₦11.7 Billion for 24 security vehicles
are all criminal inflation scams.
Borrowing Madness
After repaying $3.4 billion in debt, Tinubu’s government borrowed $21.5 billion in 18 months, saddling future generations with unsustainable liabilities.
Failed Promise on Electricity
Tinubu’s pledge of 24/7 electricity in his first year is a cruel farce. Power generation remains below 4,500MW, unchanged from Buhari’s era. Nigeria remains in darkness.
Rising Insecurity and Economic Collapse
Kidnappings, banditry, and killings are rampant across the country. Inflation is over 33%. Unemployment is near 40%. Naira has fallen to ₦1,560/$1, and 133 million Nigerians live in multi-dimensional poverty.
Tinubu’s administration has been a disgrace—a masterclass in propaganda, misgovernance, looting, and contempt for the common man. If governance continues in this direction, Nigeria may not survive another two years.
