Reno Omokri and Tinubu (1).webp
In a striking political pivot, Reno Omokri, former spokesperson for ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu for reelection in 2027. The social media influencer's 10-point endorsement highlights debt reduction, education stability, and infrastructure projects as key achievements surpassing the Buhari era.
  • Debt Management: $14bn reduction in national debt ($108.2bn to $94.2bn), with full IMF repayment
  • Security Gains: 14+ bandit leaders neutralized vs. zero under Buhari; Nigeria improved from 3rd to 6th on Global Terror Index
  • Education: Zero university strikes since 2023 vs. recurrent ASUU disruptions pre-Tinubu
  • Infrastructure: Coastal Highway, Sokoto-Badagry Expressway among mega-projects cited
  • Political Shift: Omokri urges his "Nuggeteers" to support APC's Renewed Hope Agenda
The endorsement signals potential opposition fractures ahead of 2027, framing Tinubu as a pragmatic reformer despite lingering economic pains. Do opposition figures crossing to Tinubu strengthen democracy or weaken accountability?
