How I wished he has allowed GEJ to remove the fuel subsidy that 2012 with Ngozi as the finance minister, things would have been better be 2023. Is either he was less informed then or he wanted to take glory for being the one that removed it and it backfired.
No one explains the impact of President Tinubu’s reforms on everyday Nigerians better than Tinubu himself. Just revisit his old campaign videos attacking Goodluck Jonathan. The arguments he made then about hardship, poverty and the cost of living are the same complaints many Nigerians are making today.
So, the FBI has pleaded with Judge Beryl Howell not to allow the public disclosure of President Tinubu's records.
Why?
According to the FBI, publicly disclosing the drug records could endanger lives.
Now, my question is this: could this simply be an international standard practice, or is President Tinubu's case an exceptional one?
Well, a little finding will reveal that the U.S. government routinely invokes Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemptions to withhold investigative files concerning foreign sitting presidents, prime ministers, and other high-ranking leaders.
Take Manuel Noriega for example.
In 1989, Noriega was the military dictator of Panama.
Before his ouster from power, the U.S. government withheld deep intelligence files regarding his involvement in international drug trafficking rings for years.
What was their reason?
They argued that releasing those files prematurely would have compromised active regional intelligence networks, exposed classified U.S. counter-narcotics methods, and endangered undercover operatives in Latin America.
Then there is Juan Orlando Hernández, who served as the President of Honduras from 2014 to 2022.
While still a sitting president, he was heavily investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and federal prosecutors.
Yet, his files were not made public.
The argument was that releasing them while he remained in office would have derailed regional security cooperation, triggered intense civil unrest, and placed the lives of Latin American informants at immediate risk.
It was only after he left office that he was extradited to the United States and eventually convicted in a U.S. federal court in 2024.
So, if you ask me, I think the U.S. refusal to release President Tinubu's records is both a strategic interest and a standard practice at the same time.
First, the U.S. may have an interest in President Tinubu as Nigeria's President and whatever it stands to benefit from him as long as he remains in office.
Secondly, they might simply be following procedures they have applied in similar cases in the past.
But there is one thing you all should know.
If there was absolutely nothing incriminating in those files, it is difficult to believe it would have taken this much effort to keep them from being released for this long.
End.

The breakdown in this video is pure, unvarnished truth.
When a leader has nothing to hide, he doesn't need to build a godfather cartel to protect him.
What Peter Obi did in Anambra- cutting off the siphoning pipes without bowing to political extortion- is the exact blueprint needed for federal governance.
A man who has conquered personal greed and holds zero fear of political blackmail will always put the people first.
On the flip side, let's look at what state-level political control has done:
• Suppression of Excellence: Outstanding performers get silenced or politically disgraced the moment their results expose the flaws of the ruling structure.
• Cultivated Dependency: Elevating people in politics solely to use them as tools for a central cartel, rather than letting true meritocracy drive development.
• Unchecked Governance: The entire system relies on citizens staying quiet while a select few decide a future they won't even live to see.
Bullies only thrive when people refuse to stand up.
2027 isn't about loyalty to political dynasties or transactional politics; it’s about choosing a country that actually works for the common man. Time to break the hold of political cartels for good. 🍿
@OgbeniDipo@officialABAT@NELFUND With many kidnappings and many are still in captivity, suffering, hardship and so on. Have you really benefited from the fuel subsidy removal as an individual?

A cording to reports, Islamic terr0rists abdvcted a mass assembly of Christians.
They were forced to beg in their native languages so that their ransom can or paid and get released.
.
“By Allah, anyone who accept 5k or a pasta to vote for that idiot who will continue making life unbearable for us, we will beat the hell out of the person. Every election circle, you poor people have been putting us in trouble, we’re going to correct that in the next election.”
This is an interesting concept.
Northerners have woken up.
The 2027 election will be interesting…..
President Donald Trump, you cannot call Nigeria A Now Disgraced Country and your countries FBI will be begging to withhold Tinubu’s case file from being made available to Nigerians.
You have no moral rights to arrest any Yahoo Boy from Nigeria if you don't expose those files.
Nigerians are watching and must react according to resist cordial relationship with you if the right thing is not done.
Our Green Passport cannot be reduced to notting in the Henley Index and you want us to keep quiet over the criminality of few insignificant criminals who have found their way into political offices in Nigeria.
Do The Right Thing ✅️

MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
@Dee_9889 When someone that said it's my turn is there what do you expect? He didn't mean it's his turn to improve the country but rather it's his turn to thief. He said there's suffering before he was born. If we the youths are really ready and seriously meant business, 2027 will tell.
@Dee_9889 Nigeria is in serious trouble. I bought a trailer-load of Dangote cement in 2014 for ₦690,000. Today, that same ₦690,000 can barely buy 50 bags of cement.
Just think about that for a moment. What exactly is the hope for the average Nigerian trying to survive and build a home?
A bag of cement now costs ₦15,000! It was only ₦3,500 on 29 May 2023, before Tinubu entered..
YOUR MINIMUM WAGE CAN ONLY BUY YOU 4 BAGS OF CEMENT..
IF YOU LIKE ALLOW APC GASLIGHT YOU
@anthonyabakporo@FBI is aiding and abetting Nigerian corrupt leaders, that have investments in the US. How comes he became your assets?
Release that documents ASAP.
If FBI can be begging the court to not release Tinubu’s case file.
Then the world should just apologise to
Pablo Escobar, Yahoo Boys in Nigeria and release HUSHPUPPY immediately!
Nigeria: Islamic terrorists held a mass assembly of Christian hostages.
The Muslims forced these believers, from multiple tribes, to beg in their native languages to be ransomed.
This evil is intolerable and must be ripped out of Nigeria, root and branch.
