Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has said that Nigerians will not abandon President Bola Tinubu’s achievements to vote for Malam Nasir El-Rufai or Peter Obi.
Thelensng reports that El-Rufai decamped from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Monday.
However, Omokri, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday highlighted President Tinubu’s administration achievements across various sectors.
He wrote: “The Sokoto-Badagry Highway has reached Kebbi State and is progressing daily. The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is now approaching Ondo State. Fuel prices are down and still dropping to an average of ₦800 per litre. Four hundred thousand students are accessing student loans. The Minimum Wage is now ₦70,000. Food prices are dropping slightly, while inflation reduced seismically from 34.80% to 24.48% in February 2025. Power generation is at an all-time high of 6,003MW, the highest in our history.
“Federal allocations to states have doubled and, in some cases, tripled. Deaths from terrorism and insecurity are at their lowest level since 2014, even as our GDP grew by 3.8% in 2024, while Nigeria recorded a 209.6% increase in our trade surplus to ₦18.86 trillion in 2024 from ₦6.09 trillion in 2023. More regions now have individual regional development commissions to accelerate development in their zones.”
According to him, Nigerians are earning more than they did in 2023, “Students are learning more than they did in 2023. Nigerians are safer than they were in 2023. Nigeria generates more power than it did in 2023.”
He added: “And you think Nigerians will jeopardise all these progresses to vote in Nasir el-Rufai to turn us into one big Southern Kaduna Genocidal Graveyard, or Peter Obi, who kowtows to IPOB, sides with fake drug peddlers and never built a single school for his eight years as a Governor of Anambra?”
