Hi, 👋 I'm KENNY.

Follow the journey.
It is campaign season already and here is why I am voting Tinubu for the second term. #BAT#2027election#Tinubu
Tinubu has started some of the most difficult economic reforms Nigeria has attempted in decades. The reforms have produced measurable improvements in macroeconomic stability, fiscal management, foreign exchange and investment confidence.
Some of the reforms:
1. Fuel subsidy reform: Tinubu removed the petrol subsidy, a decision that caused serious short-term hardship but also reduced a major drain on government finances. The IMF says the reform helped improve Nigeria's fiscal position and macroeconomic stability.
2. Foreign exchange reform: His administration moved toward a unified, market-driven FX system. The CBN reports that the gap between official and bureau-de-change exchange rates fell from 62.23% in May 2023 to 2.11% in December 2025. External reserves also reached about $45 billion by the end of 2025.
3. Economic stability: The IMF and World Bank acknowledge that Nigeria's macroeconomic position has improved. Growth reached 3.4% in 2024, while fiscal and external positions strengthened.
4. Fiscal reforms: Nigeria's fiscal deficit fell from 5.4% of GDP in 2023 to 3.0% in 2024. The government has also introduced major tax reforms aimed at improving revenue collection and reducing dependence on borrowing.
5. Minimum wage: The administration increased the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000. It may still be inadequate given today's cost of living, but it represents a significant statutory increase.
6. Education: NELFUND has expanded access to student financing. By May 2026, the government reported that more than 1.5 million students had received access to higher-education financing, with over ₦282 billion disbursed.
7. CNG: The Presidential CNG Initiative is an attempt to reduce dependence on petrol and diesel by taking advantage of Nigeria's abundant natural gas resources. If successfully expanded, it could reduce transportation and energy costs.
8. Infrastructure: Thousands of kilometres of roads are under construction, rehabilitation or reconstruction, alongside major projects such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road.
9. Healthcare: The government reports that almost 3,000 primary healthcare centres have been revitalised, alongside investments in emergency and maternal healthcare.

“Life happened.”🥲💔
Young man identified as Richard Abraham, one of the students who represented Aguata Zone at the state level during the 2021 Governor’s Debate, has recounted how he stopped going to school after losing his mother following a brief illness.
Richard was reportedly one of the best speakers at the debate and was given the title “Honourable” by His Excellency Willie Obiano, who was the Governor of Anambra State at the time.
He shared his story after one of his former teachers recently met him and asked about what happened to him after leaving school.
Richard revealed that he stopped his education after losing his mother and is currently working as a bricklayer to make a living.
STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES EXPANSION OF NIGERIAN ARMY TO 12 DIVISIONS, RECRUITMENT OF 28,000 PERSONNEL TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL SECURITY
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has approved the expansion of the Nigerian Army’s structure from eight to twelve divisions—a landmark move to enhance the country’s security architecture and improve the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army.
This approval underscores the President’s unwavering commitment to equipping the Armed Forces to address Nigeria’s evolving security challenges effectively and to strengthen national defence capabilities further.
The expansion builds on the Administration’s sustained investments in the Armed Forces, including approval for the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel, acquisition of critical military platforms and equipment, improvements in troop welfare, and ongoing support for operational readiness and force modernisation.
Under the new structure, the Nigerian Army will operate twelve divisions, strategically positioned across the country as follows:
1. 1 Division Headquarters – Kaduna (Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Jigawa States)
2. 2 Division Headquarters – Ibadan (Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States)
3. 3 Division Headquarters – Jos (Plateau, Bauchi and Gombe States)
4. 5 Division Headquarters – Makurdi (Benue, Nasarawa and Kogi States)
5. 6 Division Headquarters – Port Harcourt (Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States)
6. 7 Division Headquarters – Maiduguri (Borno and Yobe States)
7. 8 Division Headquarters – Sokoto (Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara States)
8. 9 Division Headquarters – Ilorin (Kwara and Niger States)
9. 10 Division Headquarters – Jalingo (Taraba and Adamawa States)
10. 81 Division Headquarters – Lagos (Lagos and Ogun States)
11. 82 Division Headquarters – Enugu (Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo States)
12. 83 Division Headquarters – Benin City (Edo, Delta and Bayelsa States).
The establishment of the new Divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo and Benin City will significantly improve command and control, decentralise operational decision-making, strengthen border security, enhance the protection of critical national infrastructure, improve counter-insurgency and internal security operations, and ensure faster military response to emerging threats nationwide.
Implementation of the new force structure will be done in two phases. The first phase, covering the establishment of the 5, 9, and 10 Divisions and the reorganisation of existing formations, will be completed by September 2026. The second phase, involving the establishment of the 83 Division and further reorganisation, is expected to be completed by December 2026.
President Tinubu commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Ibrahim Shuaibu, and all officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The President reaffirmed his Administration’s determination to continue investing in the Armed Forces, ensuring they remain adequately equipped, highly motivated, and fully capable of protecting the nation and guaranteeing the safety and security of all Nigerians.

When President Trump called us a disgraced country in November last year, a lot of people took it as a fact. They parroted it, amplified it, and spoke in such a distasteful manner about their country. It was shocking at the time, but it’s allowed.
Now that Trump has commended President Tinubu for his decisive leadership, especially regarding cooperation in our counter-terrorism efforts, you all have to maintain the same energy or wear your breastplate of hypocrisy.
Trump’s words cannot be gospel to you when he attacks Nigeria, and you’d suddenly look away or sound dismissive when he commends us.
As I have always said, you can hate your politicians, but draw a line. Don’t hate your country. Politicians will come and go, but your country will remain.
