Even the people who warned Nigeria are now looking like prophets in a country that refused to listen.
Before Tinubu entered Aso Rock, many Nigerians raised serious concerns. They asked for his economic blueprint. They asked for his security plan. They asked for his clear national development strategy. They asked how he intended to govern a complex country already battling poverty, insecurity, inflation, unemployment, debt pressure, and national division. Instead of answers, Nigerians got slogans. They got propaganda. They got insults. They got emotional blackmail. They got “emi lokan” packaged as policy.
Now, after years in office, the question is still standing like a stubborn witness: what exactly was the plan?
Look at Northern Nigeria today. After all the votes, after all the loyalty, after all the political sacrifices, after all the noise that APC is the party of the North, can anyone proudly point to one major transformational project commissioned by Tinubu for ordinary people in Northern Nigeria? Not promises. Not committee announcements. Not budget grammar. Not press releases. One clear project that has changed the life of the farmer in Zamfara, the trader in Kano, the student in Kaduna, the civil servant in Sokoto, the IDP in Borno, the transporter in Katsina, or the young graduate in Bauchi.
The silence is louder than any campaign speech.
Tinubu’s government has mastered the politics of announcement without delivery. They announce reforms, but Nigerians feel punishment. They announce investments, but citizens see hunger. They announce security efforts, but villages still sleep with fear. They announce economic progress, but the market woman knows the truth before any government statistic arrives. A bag of rice does not obey propaganda. Transport fare does not listen to press conferences. Hunger does not fear media aides.
This is why the warning mattered.
A serious country should never hand power to anyone without demanding a clear plan. Nigeria was not in need of political poetry. Nigeria needed a leader with a security architecture, an economic rescue strategy, a credible energy plan, a food security emergency framework, and a national healing agenda. Instead, APC gave Nigerians confidence without clarity. They told people to trust the same political family that had already failed under Buhari, and now they want Nigerians to pretend this hardship is an accident.
It is not an accident. It is the result of leadership without a people-first blueprint.
Northern Nigeria must especially reflect deeply. This region gave APC massive political strength for years. Yet what has the North received in return? Insecurity in rural communities. Farmers displaced from their lands. Young people trapped between unemployment and political manipulation. Small businesses collapsing under fuel prices and inflation. Families struggling to feed. Schools under pressure. Communities abandoned until campaign season returns.
A government that remembers the North only during elections does not deserve the North during elections.
And this is where Atiku Abubakar and ADC become important in the national conversation. Atiku is not entering this race as a stranger to the economy. He understands enterprise, job creation, education, private sector growth, national negotiation, and the politics of building broad coalitions. He understands that Nigeria cannot be governed by arrogance. A country this wounded requires experience, consultation, competence, and unity.
Nigeria does not need another round of “wait for the reforms to work” while citizens are being crushed. Nigerians have waited enough. They waited under Buhari. They are waiting under Tinubu. How long should a hungry man wait before leadership admits failure? How long should farmers be unable to enter their farms before government accepts that security has collapsed? How long should young people continue to lose hope before citizens reject excuses?

I hope Christopher Musa is watching.
Following extensive consultations with family, friends, and political associates we have worked closely with over time, we have resolved to move to the ADC as part of a new direction.
I have accordingly tendered my resignation from the APC and completed my registration with our new party, the ADC.
Those who are interested in joining the ADC can conveniently register using their phones via this link: https://t.co/NyukYrtgvl. Your membership card will be issued shortly after.
We pray that Allah, in His mercy, makes this decision a good one, grants the ADC the opportunity to form government at all levels, and makee it beneficial for all Nigerians. Ameen.
As part of our cherished Kwankwasiyya tradition, I was deeply honoured to host thousands of our dedicated supporters for the annual Sallah homage at my residence in Kano.
The occasion was made even more vibrant and memorable by the presence of Their Excellencies: Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde, and Seriake Dickson, along with their esteemed entourages.
It was also heartwarming to be joined by the Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, alongside our federal and state legislators, as well as former commissioners and government officials in the state.
We were also privileged to welcome the national leadership of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), ably led by our National Chairman Ahmed Ajuji and Bishop Isaac Idahosa, as well as key stalwarts of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano, led by Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad and Hon. Musa Ungogo, the party's Kano State Chairman.
I extend my sincere and heartfelt appreciation to every one of you who took time out of your busy schedules to grace this joyous celebration. Your presence truly made the day special.
I also wish to express profound gratitude to our talented Kwankwasiyya entertainers, led by Alhaji Tijjani Gandu and Sanusi Oscar, for their unwavering dedication and remarkable contributions to the vibrancy of our movement.
Special thanks go to all our party and movement stalwarts, as well as our committed social media lieutenants, for your relentless support, loyalty, and tireless efforts in advancing our shared vision.
