Senator Cruz (@SenTedCruz) is correct. Nigerian President Tinubu @officialABAT is playing games. Do not let Tinubu fool you. Below is the sequence of events:
**July 6, 2026** — The date listed on the released quotes from the unseen purported letter from President @realDonaldTrump to President Tinubu.
**July 15, 2026** — Congress passed a bill to withhold 100% of U.S. assistance to Nigeria.
**July 17, 2026** — Senator Ted Cruz and other Members of Congress publicly criticized the #Tinubu government.
**July 20, 2026** — Von Batten–Montague–York announced it had begun providing @WhiteHouse and Congress documents on the DOJ drug trafficking allegations concerning President Bola Tinubu.
**July 22, 2026** — The Nigerian Presidency released what it described as a letter from President Trump, even though the date on the released quotes was **July 6**. They forgot to change the date to read July 22
**Facts:** The purported letter from President #Trump to Tinubu is dated more than two weeks before we began briefing the @WhiteHouse and Congress on the DOJ documents. President #Tinubu wants Nigerians to believe the purported letter came **after** our briefings. In reality, it is dated **more than two weeks earlier**. Do not be fooled.

Today, we had a productive day speaking with Members of Congress, and we thanked Congressman Chris Smith, a wonderful person who cares about life, for calling out the evil of Tinubu's (@officialABAT) government during today's congressional hearing titled “@UN Accountability and Reform: Advancing an America First Foreign Policy.”
But we want to focus squarely on Nigerian President #Tinubu for a moment. President #Tinubu just attacked former Vice President @atiku for hiring us to look out for the interests of all Nigerians in the halls of the White House and Congress. President Tinubu equates briefing the White House and Congress on his alleged links to heroin trafficking from Nigeria to #Chicago with an attack on Nigeria and as an unpatriotic act.
It is unfortunate that a sitting Nigerian President, #Tinubu, equates drug trafficking with Nigeria and with everyday, hardworking Nigerians who have been struggling to feed their families since he became President. The Giant of Africa, Nigeria, and the amazing people of Nigeria are not drug traffickers, and your attempt to link your alleged illegal activities to Nigeria speaks more about you than it does about Nigeria. Calling out drug dealers is not unpatriotic. It is justice.
President Tinubu, you are not on the same level as His Excellency @atiku Abubakar. He is a statesman. We are all sinners in the eyes of God, but only you and your friends have allegedly sold heroin (poison) to Americans. We will never know how many American children have died because of your alleged actions, but we are Americans. Furthermore, we are @Republicans and members of the @GOP, and we love our country. We will not stop until your name is one day added to the list of heads of state indicted by the United States for drug trafficking, alongside Juan Orlando Hernández, Manuel Noriega, and Nicolás Maduro.

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.
The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.
N8.83 trillion is as follows:
1.About 2% of our GDP.
2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.
https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).
If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.
This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.
This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.
A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.

My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria
Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.
This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.
Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.
Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.
These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.
From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.
Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.
The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.
Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.
