* *NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE*
*THE WAR OF ATTRITION: ATIKU, OBI & OTHERS TO BREAK PRESIDENT TINUBU'S ECONOMIC TURNAROUND AND FREEDOM FROM POLITICAL FEUDALISM*
*PBAT AS THE VETERAN CHESS MASTER*
_A Position Paper_
_By Hon. Barrister Oladosu Oladipo_

*1. THE UNDERLYING BATTLE*
Since the *2023 Presidential Election defeat* of *Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON* and *Dr. Peter Obi*, let us not pretend — there is a powerful undercurrent in Nigeria’s political waters.
It is fiercely flowing against *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR*.

This is not just the usual political noise for the sustenance of democracy.
It is a *carefully orchestrated campaign* by a group of powerful cabals and interests who feel threatened — not just politically, but economically and historically.

The reasons they want President Tinubu out of power at all costs go far deeper than most people realize.

*2. HISTORY REPEATS: THE JUNE 12 LESSON*
This battle did not start today. To understand what is happening now, we must go back to the conversation between *Professor Omo Omoruyi* and *General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB)* documented in _The Tale of June 12_.
It reveals how deep the *Northern feudal establishment’s fear of Southern leadership* runs.

As far back as *March 12, 2024*, less than a year into this administration, I — as *National Coordinator of YPM / Next-Level Consolidation Forum* — convened a Summit at the *International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan* on the nefarious move to destabilize *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu*.
The Guest Speaker, *Emeritus Professor Olu Aina*, presented a 108-page paper titled to forestall the planned agenda.

At the heart of the 1993 discussion was a message from the *Sultan of Sokoto*. He warned General Babangida that allowing *Chief MKO Abiola*, a Yoruba man and fellow Muslim, would undo the gains the North had made since 1960.
Even though MKO was well-liked, his ethnic identity alone made him unacceptable to Northern power brokers. The message was clear: *the North could not afford a Yoruba presidency.*

According to Prof. Omoruyi, Babangida in a moment of candor said Yoruba people behave as if Nigeria cannot move forward without them, and that the Igbo should teach them a lesson.
It revealed the hidden bitterness and competition that have plagued Nigeria’s leadership structure — the same spirit *Alhaji Atiku Abubakar* is now championing.

*3. 1993 IS 2027: THE SAME FEAR, SAME TACTICS*
What played out in 1993 is no different from today.
*President Tinubu has become a symbol of what the Northern elite fear most* — a Southern leader who is independent, bold, and difficult to control.

Tinubu is not Obasanjo, who was handpicked and trusted by the establishment to protect their interests.
Unlike Obasanjo, Tinubu came through the hard way. He built his political machinery from the ground up, led the opposition for years, and earned his victory through grit, strategy, and the power of the people.
Now that he is in power, *he is not dancing to their tune. That is the real problem.*

*4. WHY THEY WANT HIM OUT: THE ECONOMICS OF REFORM*
Since *May 29, 2023*, what has President Tinubu done that is shaking their foundations?
He is disrupting their long-standing economic privileges.

1. *Fuel Subsidy Removal* cut off a major pipeline of wealth for those who benefited without accountability.
2. *Oil Bunkering, Illegal Mining, Black-market FX, Tax Evasion, and Looting* — all part of an entrenched system of plunder — are being exposed and shut down.

The reforms, though tough, have purpose. They aim to build a stronger economy, reduce waste, and make Nigeria work for everyone — not just a privileged few.
But to those who have fed fat for decades, *Tinubu’s policies are not reforms — they are threats.*

*5. THE COALITION PLAYBOOK*
What are they doing now? *They are regrouping.*
1. *Calling their "Best Eleven"* — political heavyweights, media propagandists, religious leaders, and ethnic champions.
2. *Aligning with angry politicians* from the South who lost out in 2023.
3. *Funding protests, sponsoring misinformation, and sowing discontent.*
4. *Trying to present Tinubu’s government as a failure* — not because he has failed, but because they are desperate to stop his reelection.

This is the same playbook used against *President Goodluck Jonathan* — making the country ungovernable until he was pushed out.
Now they want to repeat it. But *this time, the target is Tinubu — and he is very tough to crack.*

*6. THE REAL QUESTION FOR NIGERIANS*
Is this really about Tinubu?
Or is it about a group trying to protect *unchecked access to power and wealth?*

The bitter truth: If we allow these forces to succeed, Nigeria will return to the cycle of backwardness we have tried to break since independence.
The old system will return stronger, bolder, and more ruthless.
All efforts to build a fair and just Nigeria will be wasted. We will go back to a *pariah state under feudal backwardness.*

*7. PBAT: THE VETERAN CHESS MASTER*
No one is saying President Tinubu is perfect. No leader is.
But what he represents is a *turning point*. For the first time in a long while, the person at the top is *not a puppet*.
He is not afraid to make hard decisions. He is not waiting for approval from a hidden cabal.
He is steering the country away from waste, corruption, and economic sabotage. *That is why they want him out.*

This is a battle between:
*The Old Nigeria vs The New Nigeria*
*Progress vs Sabotage*
*Change vs The Status Quo*

*8. THE CHARGE: ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE*
Our task at this time is *vigilance*.

_Yoruba Proverb:_ *"Eniti o Jesu gbingbin, Oni lati tile Kun gbingbin"*
_Meaning: You must close every loophole for safety to enjoy democracy._

_Yoruba Proverb:_ *"Eniti yio je Oyin inu Apata, ko ni wo enu ake"*
_Meaning: To enjoy democracy, we must wrestle every obstacle down._

If the Caliphate succeeds in removing him, they will remove every hope for real change.
They will send a message that *no Southern leader who is not a puppet can survive in power.*

But with our collective resolve, *they will fail.*
They failed in 2023. *They will fail again on January 15, 2027.*
*President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR’s reelection will be celebrated.*

*FINAL CALL*
As I did at ICC, Ibadan on *March 12, 2024*, I call again at this critical moment for all democrats in Nigeria to stand firm and together.
Not because Tinubu is perfect, but because *Nigeria deserves a chance to be governed by someone not beholden to hidden masters.*

We must support the reforms.
We must endure temporary pain for lasting gain.
We must resist attempts to throw the country back into chaos for the greed of a few.

*God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.*
*God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.*

PBAT'S RENEWED HOPE FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS

One National Vision For Sustainable Development To Reach Every Community In Nigeria
A Position Paper
_By Barrister Oladosu Oladipo_
Polling Unit 12, Ward 4, Ifelodun LGA, Osun State
INTRODUCTION
*President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR* established the *Ministry of Regional Development*.
The Ministry supervises *7 Development Commissions (Regions):*
1. *Northwest Development Commission*
2. *Northeast Development Commission*
3. *North Central Development Commission*
4. *Southeast Development Commission*
5. *Southwest Development Commission*
6. *Southsouth Development Commission*
7. *Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)*

The mandates of each Commission are clearly stated. The responsibility of the Supervising Ministry is also very clear.
This is *not merely another moribund government arm*.
It is a *development institution* designed to serve as the catalyst that will ensure every Regional Development Commission becomes a genuine instrument for *deliverables to the grassroots*.

It should be the veritable nucleus for the transformation of the lives of citizens in both *rural areas and urban cities*.

*THE VISION: LIFE MORE ABUNDANT*
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR meant well.
With the right leadership and correct manning table for line-and-staff management, the expectation is the delivery of *life more abundant* for all Nigerians regardless of creed, tongue and tribe.

From the *North-East to the Niger Delta*, and across the *North-West, South-West, South-East, South-South and North-Central*, the dividend of *PBAT’s Fuel Subsidy removal* should be well felt.

The various Commissions must reach out to people of ideas within their development regions for a *Blueprint / Development Roadmap*.
This roadmap must have the clear intention of strengthening the realization of the objective of their establishment.

*THE PATHWAY: 3Cs + CPA*
This calls for:
1. *Cooperation*
2. *Collaboration*
3. *Coordination*

Through *Critical Path Analysis (CPA)* of projects that will be of mutual benefit to the people both in the *short-run and long-run*.

With *accountability, efficiency and effective project delivery*, the legacy of *Good Governance* that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR has resolved to establish through these Regional Development Commissions will be a Defining achievements in Legacy Wealth for him *before the end of his 2nd Term on May 29, 2031.*

*CALL TO ACTION FOR THE 7 COMMISSIONS*
It is therefore incumbent on members of the seven development commissions to:
1. *Think outside the box*
2. *Reach out to Patriots for correct vision and advocacy*
3. *Scan the environment for opportunities*
4. *Reposition and open up rural communities*
5. *Create jobs*
6. *Improve transportation*
7. *Expand economic endowment*
8. *Ensure that no part of Nigeria is left behind*

All in fulfillment of *PBAT’s Renewed Hope Agenda* for *Life More Abundant* for all Nigerians without any discrimination.

*THE ROLE OF THE ADVOCACY COUNCIL*
The *Advocacy Council for Sustainable Peace, Productivity and Development* under my leadership will continue to provide:
1. *TIMEOUS Advice*
2. *Monitoring of the Critical Path for Project Implementation*
3. *Demand and Control of Results for Public Good*
4.*We Think and Share our Thoughts*
So that *taxpayers’ money* on every project can ultimately translate into a *better life for the people*.

We are a *Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)* with solid belief in:
*One Nation. Seven Regional Commissions. Shared Prosperity through the Renewed Hope Agenda.*

We trust our *Competent and Courageous President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR* that *Nigeria Will Succeed* and *be very prosperous* so that *everyone will enjoy* because:
*COST OF LIVING WILL FALL*
*POVERTY WILL REDUCE*
*SAFETY OF LIVES AND PROPERTY WILL BE SECURED*

*NB,*
*My Book written to Mark my 80th Birthday Anniversary entitled:*

*ETHICAL PRECEPTS FOR WEALTH AND FAME*

Towards my 80th Birthday Anniversary the book will on *3rd December,2026*, be out for *Public Presentation* at the *International Conference Center, University of Ibadan, Ibadan at 10 am*

THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL FOR PBAT SECOND TERM RE-ELECTION
Social Media Engagement vs. Political Grassroots Action:
Lessons for the January 15, 2027 Presidential Election
A Position Paper
By Hon. Oladosu Oladipo
Ifelodun Ward 4, Unit 12, Osun State

INTRODUCTION
As the last off-cycle election before the January 15, 2027 Presidential Election, I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for ensuring that the August 15, 2026 Osun State Governorship Election was credible, free, fair, and peaceful, allowing the genuine will of the electorate to prevail.

Those of us who witnessed the turbulent elections of the Second Republic understand the significance of this. I participated in the *1983* elections as the *Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN)* candidate for Ifelodun LGA in Oyo State. Despite UPN victories at many polling units, results were altered in favour of the ruling *National Party of Nigeria (NPN)*, which ignited mayhem. That painful experience remains a reminder of the importance of electoral integrity.

Free, fair, peaceful and credible elections are products of deliberate leadership. President Tinubu deserves commendation for choosing a different path, while *Governor Ademola Adeleke* deserves recognition for acknowledging the President’s commitment to democratic values.

Governor Adeleke won because a majority of Osun voters expressed confidence in his leadership and entrusted him with another mandate.

# # # # *THE REAL LESSONS FROM OSUN*
The Osun election proves that victory cannot be guaranteed solely by the _"3Ms"_ — *Money, Mischief and Machete*. Neither can it be secured mainly by incumbency, political influence, or national popularity.

*Electoral success is earned through:*
- *Credible candidates*
- *Effective grassroots mobilisation*
- *Internal party unity*
- *Public trust and confidence*
- *A convincing programme for good governance*

Ultimately, elections are won by people, not by propaganda.

# # # # *7 KEY LESSONS FOR JANUARY 15, 2027*

*1. GRASSROOTS MOBILISATION REMAINS SUPREME*
Elections are won at the polling unit.
In *Ifelodun Ward 4, Unit 12*, APC secured *197* votes against Accord’s *120* — a margin of *77*.
Party structures must remain active at polling units, wards and LGAs throughout the electoral cycle.

_Yoruba Proverb: "A kì í gbin ogede kí ó so lójọ́ kan."_
_You cannot plant a banana today and expect it to bear fruit the same day._

*2. INTERNAL UNITY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE*
Factional disputes weaken campaigns. Differences must be reconciled long before elections. The wisdom of elders must be fully utilised.

_Yoruba Proverb: "Bí àgbà bá wà n'ilé, tí ọmọ tuntun bá wọ̀ ọjà, ohun tí àgbà rí, ọmọ tuntun kò lè rí."_
_An elder's experience often sees what youthful enthusiasm cannot._

*3. CANDIDATE SELECTION MATTERS*
Popularity within a party is not enough. Candidates must have grassroots connections, competence, integrity, and public acceptance.
The emergence of *Sen. Sarafadeen Abiodun Alli* in Oyo, *Sen. Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI)* in Ogun, and *Dr. Obafemi Hamzat* in Lagos reflects this principle.

*4. NEVER DEPEND SOLELY ON INCUMBENCY*
Osun proves that federal power alone does not guarantee state victory. Voters separate their assessment of the Federal Government from their judgment of state candidates.

*5. CAMPAIGN BEYOND SOCIAL MEDIA*
Social media is important, but elections are decided in communities. Political communication must extend to:
Youths, Women, Farmers, Traders, Professionals, Religious Leaders, Traditional Institutions, and Community Organisations.
The strongest political message is personal contact built on trust.

*6. BUILD VOTER CONFIDENCE*
Where an incumbent enjoys public confidence, the opposition must provide persuasive, evidence-based alternatives. People respond to practical solutions more than to constant criticism.

*7. LESSONS FOR 2027: A WAKE-UP CALL*
The Osun election should not be viewed as just a setback. It is an opportunity for honest reflection and strategic reorganisation.

# # # # *RECOMMENDATIONS*
The APC and the 2027 Presidential Council must:
1. *Strengthen grassroots structures* from polling unit to national
2. *Resolve internal disputes* and reconcile factions
3. *Improve communication* with voters
4. *Identify credible candidates early*
5. *Maintain continuous engagement* with communities
6. *Reconnect with loyal supporters* who worked for PBAT 2015-2023 but have not been recognised. Volunteers and support groups are invaluable assets.

As National Coordinator of *YPM/Next-Level Consolidation Forum* and DG of the *Advocacy Council for the 5Ps*, I attest that our members across Nigeria’s 6 geopolitical zones remain committed to the *Renewed Hope Agenda* despite little reward. Their loyalty must be appreciated and harnessed now.

# # # # *LEADERSHIP IS SINE QUA NON*
The leadership mantle in Yorubaland was worn by *Chief Obafemi Awolowo* in 1963. When he died, the gap remained.
In 1993 it was *MKO Abiola*. When he died, the gap remained.
30 years later in 2023, *PBAT* came in — and he is still running.

But we must ask: *WHO IS NEXT AFTER ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU?*

*Tinubu, The Great Leader*
Asiwaju is not only a politician, *HE IS A LEADER*. Can anyone:
1. Foresee like PBAT?
2. Dare like him?
3. Sacrifice like him?
4. Spot and groom others like him?
5. Persevere like him?
6. Forgive like him?
7. Build destinies and gather grassroots configuration like PBAT?

_I say: Yoruba R'onu! Yoruba R'onu!! Yoruba R'onu!!!_

From what *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR* has done for the Yoruba, Providence will not forgive us if in *January 15, 2027*, votes from the *Southwest + Kwara + Kogi* fall short of *13,500,000 votes* for his re-election till *May 29, 2031*.

_Yoruba Proverb: "Oun to Agba fi jeko, a be ewe lo wa"_
_The plan elders make, the youth must execute._
The strategy to actualize this must be foolproof and kept close to our chest.

As *Chief Bola Ige, SAN* advised:
*Organise! Organise!! Organise!!!*
*Mobilise! Mobilise!! Mobilise!!!*

# # # # *PLANNING IS WINNING: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FOR PBAT 2027*
Those managing the 2027 Presidential Campaign Council must understand: *Governance = Policy + Accessibility.*
Policy alone does not win elections. It must be combined with being *Present, Accessible and Relatable* to the electorate — as seen in *Governor Ademola Adeleke’s* style in Osun. He was not warehoused by protocol.

The President’s Team must allow PBAT to interact with his constituents where his *Social Wealth, Time Wealth, Spiritual Wealth, and Intellectual Wealth* in _Peace, Productivity, Profitability, Prosperity & Patriotism_ can be felt.

With the right grassroots education, correct political structures, committed party faithfuls, and leaders of integrity, *PBAT’s 2nd Term Re-election on January 15, 2027 is sure by the Grace of Almighty God. AMEN.*

The Yorubaness in us must reflect not only in support but in deliverables. *From your polling booth, deliver massive votes for PBAT.*

THE ELECTORATES: YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW*
*Social Media Engagements vs. Political Grassroots Action: Lessons for the January 15, 2027 Presidential Election.
------------------
A Position Paper
by Hon. Oladosu Oladipo.
Ifelodun Ward 4, Unit 12, Osun State.
------------------
Introduction:
I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for ensuring that the August 15, 2026 Osun State Governorship Election was free, fair, and peaceful, allowing the genuine will of the electorate to prevail.
Those of us who witnessed the turbulent elections of the Second Republic understand the significance of this achievement. I participated in the 1983 elections as the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) candidate for Ifelodun Local Government Council in Oyo State. Despite victories recorded by UPN candidates at many polling units, results were altered in favour of the ruling National Party of Nigeria (NPN). That painful experience remains a reminder of the importance of electoral integrity.

Free, fair, and peaceful elections do not occur by accident; they are the product of deliberate leadership. History has witnessed elections characterised by violence, intimidation, and manipulation, where political ambition was pursued at the expense of lives and property. President Tinubu deserves commendation for choosing a different path, while Governor Ademola Adeleke equally deserves recognition for acknowledging the President's commitment to democratic values.
Governor Adeleke won the election because a majority of Osun voters expressed confidence in his leadership and entrusted him with another mandate.
The Real Lessons from Osun:
The Osun election demonstrates that electoral victory cannot be guaranteed solely by what may be described as the "3Ms": Money, Mischief and Machete. Neither can victory be secured simply through incumbency, political influence, or national popularity.
Electoral success is earned through:
- Credible candidates;
- Effective grassroots mobilisation;
- Internal party unity;
- Public trust and confidence; and
- A convincing programme for good governance.
Ultimately, elections are won by people, not by propaganda.
1. Grassroots Mobilisation Remains Supreme

Elections are won at the polling unit.
For example, in Ifelodun Ward 4, Unit 12, APC secured 197 votes against Accord Party's 120, giving APC a margin of 77 votes. This demonstrates that sustainable political success begins at the grassroots. Party structures must remain active at polling units, wards and local government levels throughout the electoral cycle—not only a few months before elections.
Continuous engagement with community leaders, stakeholders, opinion moulders, youth groups, women, artisans and local influencers builds lasting political relationships.
As the Yoruba proverb says:
"A kì í gbin ogede kí ó so lójọ́ kan."
You cannot plant a banana today and expect it to bear fruit the same day.
Grassroots work requires patience, consistency and long-term investment.

2. Internal Unity Is Non-Negotiable
Political parties succeed when leaders and members pursue a common purpose.
Factional disputes, internal rivalry and unresolved grievances weaken campaigns and discourage supporters. Every effort must therefore be made to reconcile differences long before elections.
The wisdom and experience of respected elders should also be fully utilised.
As another Yoruba proverb reminds us: "Bí àgbà bá wà n'ilé, tí ọmọ tuntun bá wọ̀ ọjà, ohun tí àgbà rí, ọmọ tuntun kò lè rí."
An elder's experience often sees what youthful enthusiasm cannot.
3. Candidate Selection Matters.
Popularity within a political party is not enough.
Candidates must also enjoy credibility among the wider electorate. They should possess:
- Strong grassroots connections;
- Proven competence;
- Integrity;
- Public acceptance; and
- The ability to unite diverse interests.
The emergence of distinguished personalities such as Senator Sarafadeen Abiodun Alli in Oyo State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI) in Ogun State, and Dr. Obafemi Hamzat in Lagos State reflects the importance of presenting candidates with broad electoral appeal.
4. Never Depend Solely on Incumbency.
The Osun election clearly demonstrates that federal political power alone does not guarantee victory at the state level.
Voters distinguish between their assessment of the Federal Government and their judgment of state candidates.
Every election must therefore be fought on the strength of credible leadership, practical programmes and public confidence.
5. Campaign Beyond Social Media
Social media is important, but elections are decided in communities—not on mobile phones.
Political communication must extend beyond online campaigns to direct engagement with:
- Youths;
- Women;
- Farmers;
- Traders;
- Professionals;
- Religious leaders;
- Traditional institutions; and
- Community organisations.
The strongest political message is personal contact built on trust.
6. Build Voter Confidence
Where an incumbent government enjoys public confidence, the opposition must provide persuasive, evidence-based alternatives.
Negative campaigns alone rarely convince voters.
People respond more positively to practical solutions than to constant criticism.
7. Lessons for the 2027 Presidential Election.
The Osun election should not merely be viewed as a setback for the APC; it should serve as an opportunity for honest reflection and strategic reorganisation.

The party should:
- Strengthen grassroots structures;
- Resolve internal disputes;
- Improve communication with voters;
- Identify credible candidates early; and
- Maintain continuous engagement with communities.
Above all, the APC must reconnect with the thousands of loyal supporters who worked tirelessly for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's victories between 2015 and 2023 but have not yet received adequate recognition.
Political volunteers and support groups constitute invaluable assets. Recognising and motivating them will strengthen morale and encourage renewed commitment ahead of the January 15, 2027 Presidential Election.
As National Coordinator of the Yoruba Patriots Movement (YPM)/Next-Level Consolidation Forum and Director-General of the Advocacy Council for Sustainable Peace, Productivity and Development in Nigeria, I can attest that our members across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones remain committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda despite receiving little political reward for their sacrifices.
Their loyalty should be appreciated and harnessed as preparations for 2027 begin.
Conclusion:
The Osun election has reaffirmed an enduring political truth:
Electoral victory is earned—not inherited.
Money, political influence, incumbency and party machinery are important, but they cannot replace public trust, credible leadership and effective grassroots organisation.
The APC must therefore, return to the timeless principles that have historically produced electoral success:
- Organise continuously;
- Mobilise consistently;
- Build genuine relationships with the people; and
- Earn the confidence of voters through service, credibility and unity.
Only then can the party confidently approach the January 15, 2027 Presidential Election.
As the late Chief Bola Ige, SAN, famously advised:
Organise! Organise!! Organise!!!

And equally:
Mobilise! Mobilise!! Mobilise!!!
With the right grassroots structures, committed party faithful, and leaders of integrity, electoral success becomes not merely a possibility but an expectation.

YORUBA PATRIOTS MOVEMENT (YPM) SUPPORTS PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU'S RE-ELECTION IN 2027.

Based on His Five Defining Leadership Qualities: Competence, Commitment, Capacity, Courage, and Capability.
The choice before Nigerians in 2027 is straightforward: continue on the path of reform and national renewal or return to the cycle of policy reversals, uncertainty, and stagnation.
The Yoruba Patriots Movement (YPM), in collaboration with the Next-Level Consolidation Forum and the Advocacy Council for Sustainable Peace and Development in Nigeria, firmly believes that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the most qualified leader to complete the Renewed Hope Agenda and consolidate the gains of the ongoing reforms.
Despite efforts by criminal elements, insurgents, bandits, and politically motivated actors to create instability and undermine public confidence, President Tinubu has remained focused on the task of rebuilding Nigeria through courageous political, economic, and social reforms. His administration has demonstrated resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to national development.
1. Policy Continuity Through Discipline, Vision and Mission (DVM)
The Renewed Hope Agenda was conceived as a long-term transformation programme, not a short-term political project. Key reforms such as fuel subsidy removal, local government autonomy, foreign exchange unification, tax restructuring, and infrastructure modernization require sustained implementation to achieve their full benefits.
Nigeria cannot afford another cycle of policy disruption. Too often, changes in leadership have resulted in abandoned projects, delayed reforms, and years spent reviewing policies rather than executing them. President Tinubu has moved beyond policy formulation and is firmly in the implementation phase. Continuity is essential to secure lasting results.
2. Courageous Economic Reforms
Leadership requires the courage to make difficult but necessary decisions. President Tinubu demonstrated this quality from his first day in office by ending the costly fuel subsidy regime and unifying the foreign exchange market.
These reforms were not designed for political popularity but for long-term national recovery. For decades, successive administrations acknowledged the burden of fuel subsidies on public finances but lacked the political will to act decisively. President Tinubu confronted the challenge directly, choosing national interest over short-term political convenience.
Such decisions reflect a leader prepared to make sacrifices today for a stronger tomorrow.
3. Infrastructure Development and Economic Transformation
A productive economy depends on modern infrastructure. Under President Tinubu's administration, significant attention has been directed toward transportation, energy, technology, education, and industrial development.
Projects such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, expansion of road and rail networks, student loan initiatives, and the transition to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transportation are examples of long-term investments aimed at boosting productivity, creating jobs, and reducing the cost of living.
The administration's economic reforms are designed to position Nigeria competitively within the global economy while laying foundations for future generations.
4. National Unity, Political Stability and Inclusive Leadership
Sustainable development thrives in an atmosphere of peace and stability. President Tinubu has consistently demonstrated the ability to build consensus across regional, ethnic, religious, and political divides.
His leadership style emphasizes dialogue, inclusion, and cooperation among stakeholders, including governors, traditional rulers, religious leaders, the private sector, and development partners. This ability to unite diverse interests behind common national goals remains one of his greatest strengths.
At a time when opposition politics is often characterized by fragmentation and competing ambitions, President Tinubu offers stability, continuity, and a clear national direction.
5. Proven Capacity for Governance and Delivery
Leadership is ultimately measured by results. President Tinubu's record in Lagos State remains a notable example of institutional reform and economic growth.
Through revenue reforms, improved governance structures, transportation initiatives, and private-sector partnerships, Lagos evolved into one of Africa's leading economic centres. The same commitment to innovation, institution-building, and strategic planning is evident in his approach to national governance.
His administration continues to pursue major infrastructure projects, attract investment, support enterprise development, and strengthen public institutions. These are practical achievements that demonstrate both capacity and experience.
6. A Strategic Approach to Security
President Tinubu recognizes that security challenges cannot be addressed through rhetoric alone. Effective security requires intelligence gathering, technology, adequate funding, institutional coordination, and economic opportunities for citizens.
His administration has prioritized security sector improvements while simultaneously addressing the socioeconomic factors that contribute to crime and instability. This balanced approach combines immediate security measures with long-term solutions aimed at reducing poverty and unemployment.
7. Strengthening Nigeria's Global Standing
International confidence is built on consistency and credibility. Since the commencement of the Renewed Hope Agenda, Nigeria has witnessed increased engagement with international investors, development institutions, and strategic partners.
Global stakeholders are more inclined to support countries where leadership demonstrates policy consistency and commitment to reform. President Tinubu's administration has strengthened Nigeria's reputation as a nation serious about economic modernization and investment-led growth.
8. Why Nigeria Should Stay the Course
Major national reforms require time, patience, and consistency. Interrupting the current reform process before its full implementation risks undermining the sacrifices already made by Nigerians.
The country is presently undergoing structural changes intended to address longstanding economic distortions and governance challenges. These reforms require continuity to deliver their intended outcomes.
Changing direction at this critical stage could delay progress and create unnecessary uncertainty. The focus should remain on completing ongoing reforms and consolidating their benefits for future generations.
Conclusion: Let the Work Continue
The Yoruba Patriots Movement (YPM), the Next-Level Consolidation Forum, and the Advocacy Council for Sustainable Peace and Development in Nigeria believe that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu possesses the competence, commitment, capacity, courage, and capability required to complete the Renewed Hope Agenda.
This position is not based on ethnicity, religion, or partisan sentiment. It is founded on the conviction that Nigeria requires stable leadership, policy continuity, and sustained reform to achieve lasting peace, prosperity, and development.
President Tinubu has demonstrated the willingness to make difficult decisions, the vision to pursue long-term national goals, and the experience to manage a complex federation. As Nigeria approaches 2027, the priority should be to consolidate progress, deepen reforms, and complete the work already begun.
History will judge this generation not merely by the challenges it faced, but by its determination to support policies and leadership capable of delivering sustainable national transformation.
