Inspiring conversation with H.E. President Tinubu @OfficialABAT and Nigerian leadership on our shared development agenda.
@IFC_org is advancing a PPP infrastructure pipeline to help address Nigeria’s $14B annual urban infrastructure gap, completed a landmark cross-currency swap with the Central Bank of Nigeria, and is expanding local currency solutions to support MSME growth. IFC is also accelerating energy access under @WorldBankGroup's #Mission300 by backing mini-grid and solar developers.
Next on the agenda: water and land transportation projects to strengthen regional connectivity between Nigeria and its neighbours.
Proud of what this partnership is delivering for jobs, infrastructure, and inclusive growth in #Nigeria. #ACF26
There is a reason I have remained consistent about my admiration for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Love him or hate him, one thing nobody can take away from that man is COURAGE, RESILIENCE, STRATEGY, POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE, and the uncommon ability to survive storms that would have buried weaker men long ago.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not just my favorite President. He is my HERO, my political mentor from afar, and the only presidential candidate I openly supported because I understand the difference between noise makers and nation builders.
This is a man who fought for democracy during the dark military era when many loud voices today were hiding under beds, abroad, or negotiating survival. A man who was forced into exile because he stood against military dictatorship and tyranny. Yet he returned stronger, wiser, and more determined.
Before politics, Tinubu was not a roadside politician looking for government money. He worked in the corporate world and built himself professionally. He worked with Deloitte, Haskins & Sells, GTE Services Corporation, and later ExxonMobil as an accountant and financial expert before entering full time politics. That foundation matters because leadership without exposure and competence becomes dangerous experimentation.
From Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Governor of Lagos State, and now President and Commander in Chief, his political journey was not built overnight. It was built through sacrifice, strategic thinking, networking, grassroots structures, resilience, and long term vision.
As Governor of Lagos State, he transformed Lagos into the economic heartbeat of Nigeria. Many of the people governing different states today either passed through his political structure or learned governance from his school of leadership. Whether people admit it publicly or not, Bola Ahmed Tinubu changed the political architecture of modern Nigeria.
Despite endless attacks, betrayals, propaganda, health rumors, orchestrated plots, political gang ups, and attempts to destroy his image for decades, the man is still standing. Still fighting. Still strategizing. Still leading Africa’s most difficult democracy.
That level of resilience is not ordinary, it is divine grace and there’s nothing anyone can do about it until when God is done with him.
People underestimate what it means to survive Nigerian politics for decades without being politically buried. Nigerian politics is not child’s play. It is one of the toughest political terrains in the world. Yet Bola Ahmed Tinubu remained relevant from NADECO struggles to the presidency.
That alone deserves study in political science classes globally.
What inspires me most is not perfection because no human being is perfect. It is his ability to absorb pressure, survive storms, build structures, empower people, recover from attacks, and continue moving forward while others panic emotionally.
Leadership is not about who shouts the loudest online. Leadership is about endurance, strategy, sacrifice, institution building, and the ability to carry pressure without collapsing.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu represents resilience, political courage, strategic leadership, and survival against all odds.
That is why he remains my number 1 hero in Nigeria politics today.
At this point, all I pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is good health, strength, divine wisdom, and longevity. With those firmly in place, Nigeria will be very well served beyond 2031. Resilience, experience, courage, and strategic leadership are not learned overnight, they are built through sacrifice, storms, and survival.

Attention Nigerian youth: I encourage you to speak with your parents about what President @officialABAT did to Obasanjo in 2003, when he manipulated the Southwest elections to benefit @OfficialPDPNig. The only state that wasn't rigged was Lagos, where Tinubu was Governor seeking re-election. You should also ask @atiku who he approached when Obasanjo pushed him out of the PDP; he turned to Asiwaju, who granted him a clear path to contest under the AC, which is now the APC. When the late President @MBuhari attempted to run, he was unsuccessful until he sought the support of President Tinubu, which eventually led him to the presidency after multiple attempts. If any of you in @ADCVanguard_ are unaware of President Tinubu, take some time to study; the 2027 election has already been secured, as President Tinubu is not @GEJonathan.

Who should be blamed for the 133m Nigerians, multidimensionally poor?. The Federal Government? No. The states? Yes. The 774 local councils? Yes. They are constitutionally empowered to provide all the facilities that will take our people out of that crushing poverty bracket. Not the Federal Government. Please watch this presentation by Prince Clement Agba, former Minister of National Planning, under whose watch the first multidimensional report was released in 2022.
“OBASANJO’S SENSE OF JUDGEMENT”
Lt.Gen Alani Akinrinade
Obasanjo asking Nigerians to vote for Atiku is an insult to our collective intelligence. With the benefit of hindsight, can anyone truly say Obasanjo’s sense of judgment in choosing leaders can be trusted? Some of us who knew him in the military and were privileged to see him operate during the civil war know if there is one thing Obasanjo is not blessed with, it is a good sense of judgment. Nigeria unnecessarily lost thousands of soldiers because of his poor judgment at the war front. But for the paucity of arms, ammunition and food, the Biafrans would have turned the tide against the Nigerian Army. Alabi Isama has done justice to this topic in his book – The tragedy of Victory - so one need not repeat.
Take a look at history. Through the clandestine manoeuvres in 1979, he foisted on Nigeria a reluctant Shehu Shagari at the expense of a cerebral Obafemi Awolowo or Nnamdi Azikwe. After his second coming, he so manipulated the electoral system such that he fraudulently installed an unhealthy Umaru Yar’Adua as president alongside another reluctant character in the person Goodluck Jonathan as the deputy. He denied every other interested member of his party while employing all sorts of machinations including threat and blackmail. Then came 2015, he told Nigerians Buhari is the best man for the job. As he has done to every presidential candidate he installed or supported, a few years down the line, he says Buhari is unfit for the job again.
What do you say to a man who once gave a damaging testimonial against an employee now coming back to tell you to employ the same employee as the CEO of your organization? What do you say to a man who once said “with what I know of Atiku, if I support him to be president of Nigeria, God will not forgive me”? What do you say of a man who once tore his party card in the open glare but is now promoting the same party? What do you say of a man who said he was going to create a “third force”, fooled some impressionable characters to buy into such idea and later left them in the lurch to return to his vomit? The bible says something about such people – “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways”- James 1:8. Obasanjo is not a man whose judgment can be trusted. Period! I am warning Nigerians not to fall prey to Obasanjo’s antics again. Remember the saying – “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”. How many times have Obasanjo fooled Nigerians?
But I don’t blame him. I blame the Nigerian media who have continued to give him an undeserved attention thereby misusing their agenda setting function. The Nigerian media appear to have forgotten they are indeed the fourth estate of the realm. They are gatekeepers. They owe Nigerians the responsibility of keeping this irritable man where he belongs - the waste-bin of history. Like his daughter - Iyabo reminded him in her letter, Nigeria does not belong to him. He should allow Nigerians choose who they want and stop goading the citizenry for his own selfish interests.
Please vote president @officialABAT 2027
Fellow Nigerians, let me be very clear — Tinubu is our own Xi Jinping, but with agbalumo flavour and Yoruba stubbornness.
Some of you don’t like this truth, but that’s your business.
Reality is not a customer care line.
China did not become China in 2 years — it took vision, brutality of focus, and a leader who was ready to offend everybody for national progress.
Now look at Nigeria: for the first time in decades, we actually have a president who is not governing with vibes and political courtesy.
We are still in foundation stage, and you’re already shouting.
My sibling in Christ, skyscrapers don’t grow from pure water nylon — the foundations are always ugly, always noisy, always painful, if you've been to construction sites you'll know.
2027 is not an election year...
2027 is the year Nigeria starts behaving like a country that knows what it wants.
By then the structure, the discipline, the policies, the reforms and the shock-therapy adjustments would have settled.
We will start seeing the results that will make people speak Yoruba out of excitement:
“Ah! Ṣe Nigeria yi la wa sha?”
Tinubu is doing EXACTLY what China did:
Break the old system
Reset the economy
Centralise discipline
Force reforms with or without your permission
Build long-term structures instead of short-term stomach infrastructure
No gimmicks.
No romantic speeches.
Just hard, brutal governance — the kind that future generations will thank him for while your grandchildren will ask why you were crying like this in 2023/2024.
We are not trying to be like China.
We’re trying to be the version of Nigeria that will one day compete with China.
Laugh now.
Drag now.
Insult now.
But bookmark this:
2027 is the beginning; foundation is still wet — but the building will shock the continent.
Nigeria is not just rising,
Nigeria is loading… dangerously.

Grave Miscarriage of justice against Sunday Jackson
This is Mr. Sunday Jackson, from Adamawa State. On March 7, 2025, the highest Court in Nigeria sentenced him to death by hanging for disarming and k!ll!ng a fulani terrorist who attacked him in his own farm.
In 2015, Jackson, a 29-year-old farmer and student from Dong Community in Demsa LGA of Adamawa, was working on his farm in Kodomti Community, Numan LGA when Buba Ardo Bawuro, a herdsman, herded his cattle into his farm to feed on his crops.
Jackson challenged him but the herdsman pulled out a knife and attacked him twice.
Although wounded, Jackson was able to seize the knife and stab him in return. Bawuro later died from his wounds.
The police arrested and tried the farmer with culpable homicide in Yola High Court. The charge carried a death sentence under Section 211 of the penal code.
He was subsequently sentenced to death by hanging by the lower court.
He appealed to the Court of Appeal and later the Supreme Court, but the death sentence was upheld.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent that undermines self-defence claims in similar situations, sending a chilling message to those who might defend their livelihoods.
Justice System Critique.
This case reveals systemic biases and inadequate legal representation, raising serious concerns about the integrity of Nigeria’s judicial process.
Funke Adeoye, the founder of Hope Behind Bars, the prison reform non-governmental organisation which provided legal aid to Jackson, confirmed that one of the judges had dismissed the charges against him but he was convicted based on the confessional statement he wrote without the help of a lawyer.
Jackson’s case has attracted national and international attention. Civil society organisations say that his conviction did not consider mitigating circumstances.
The Nigerian public has also been keen on the case. A petition on that has now reached 70,000 signatures appeals that Jackson be granted a presidential pardon.
Sunday has now spent 9 years in custody for an act of survival.

"President Bola Tinubu is the first President of Nigeria with a Financial background, unlike other clown who contested with him in 2023..
Let me tell our Fr*aud businessmen and serial importers some hard truths. Your days of going to the villa at night to get import duty exemptions, tax waivers, fraudulent judgement claims and bogus business deals are over.
Focus on legitimate business deals. Tinubu will not pick a winner like past Presidents.
This time you will have to earn your position in the Nigerian Economy"
