Social media influencer and Nigeria’s Ambassador designate to Mexico, Ren0 Omokri on Thursday defended his support for President Bola Tinubu.
Omokri who was responding to a tweet by one Mudassir Yusha’u Kanya who urged him to abandon his support for the President.
But the Ambassador-Designate in response not only affirms his support for the President but also gave 15 reasons why he will support Tinubu’s continuation in office beyond 2027.
See the 15 reasons below.
27 states could not pay salaries on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju Tinubu became President. Today, all states are paying salaries.
On May 29, 2023, Nigeria was the single largest importer of refined petroleum products in Africa; today, we are the single biggest exporter of those same products in West Africa.
Nigeria had the third largest manufacturing base in Africa on May 29, 2023, after Egypt and South Africa. Today, we have overtaken South Africa for the number two spot.
Nigeria has gone from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion during the last rebase in 2025—an addition of $67 billion in just 2 years.
Nigeria had less than 1000 students on Federal Government university sponsorship on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju Tinubu ascended to the throne. Today, a million Nigerian undergraduates are in school through the President’s Student Loan initiative via NELFUND.
Before May 29, 2023, there were over thirty nationwide university strikes under the banner of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria. But today, we are experiencing the first administration in Nigeria’s history that has NEVER had an ASUU strike!
On May 29, 2023, Nigeria’s military was one of the most poorly paid on Earth. But under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, our nation has made its highest-ever investment in armaments. In 2024 alone, the Tinubu administration procured ₦520 billion worth of weaponry for our military, including 12 AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters, 5,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon Systems, APCs, and other modern armaments and protective gear. This government has invested over $1 billion in munitions to empower our security forces and keep Nigerians safe.
Additionally, the President has approved an 80% salary and wage increase for the officers and men of our security forces. This is the second time the Nigerian Armed Forces are getting a pay rise in the life of this administration
Before May 29, 2023, when Tinubu became President, the total number of tourists visiting Nigeria was 528,000. Today, Nigeria receives 1.2 million tourists just for Detty December alone!
Our Foreign Reserves were less than $9 billion on May 29, 2023. Today, they are $52 billion and counting.
It took over 12 hours to travel from Calabar to Lagos on May 29, 2023. By the time the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is complete, it will take less than 6 hours. Saving Nigerians time and money.
It currently takes 17 hours to travel from Sokoto to Lagos. The Sokoto-Illela-Badagry Superhighway will cut that time by 65%, saving Nigerians time and money.
Nigeria suffered from two recessions in the eight years immediately before President Tinubu became President on May 29, 2023. Today, we have had 14 uninterrupted cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses.
Before Asiwaju became President on May 29, 2023, our population was growing faster than our economy. Today, our economy is growing faster than our population, with 4.01% GDP growth in 2025 and a projected 4% growth this year.
Nigeria’s Stock Exchange had a total value of ₦27.915 trillion on December 30, 2022, before Tinubu became President. Today, the total value of the NGX is ₦166.3 trillion, and according to Bloomberg, the Nigerian Stock Exchange is the most profitable on Earth, bar none. The NGX returned a 68% profit, overtaking South Korea’s KOSPI index.
On May 29, 2023, before Asiwaju became President, the Nigerian passport was ranked 98th globally. Today, Nigeria’s passport rose to 89th out of 199 countries on the Henley Passport Index. This means the Nigerian passport is STRONGER than more than half of all passports on Earth.
So, Mudasir, how can you ask me to witness this verifiable progress in Nigeria and then switch?
