Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila has urged Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu time to complete his reforms, saying the administration is laying “solid foundations” despite growing criticism over economic hardship.

Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila has urged Nigerians to allow President Bola Tinubu to complete his mandate, saying the administration is laying the foundation for long-term national growth.

Mr. Gbajabiamila, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, made the appeal on Saturday during a dialogue session of the Northern Caucus of the National Forum of Former Legislators in Abuja.

“President Tinubu is not just a southern leader; he is a national leader who has carried every region along. From critical infrastructure to policy reforms, the North is benefitting from a government that believes in equity and shared prosperity,” Mr Gbajabiamila said.

“We are laying solid foundations today, and it is only right that the President is allowed to finish what he started.”

His remarks come as discussions around the 2027 presidential election begin to surface, even as Nigerians continue to face soaring poverty and economic hardship under President Tinubu’s administration.

In contrast, fellow APC member and former Ekiti State governor Kayode Fayemi openly criticised the government’s performance in a viral video:

“Except we are deceiving ourselves; Nigerians are not happy with the Tinubu-led government due to widespread hunger and lack of money,” Fayemi said.

Since assuming office, President Tinubu’s policies — including fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification — have contributed to historic inflation and a severe cost-of-living crisis.

Petrol prices have surged from ₦145 to nearly ₦900, while the naira has plummeted to around ₦1,500 per dollar. Despite a recent adjustment that put inflation at 23.7%, earlier figures had reached 34% before rebasing.

The World Bank’s Africa Pulse Report (April 2025) placed Nigeria as the country with the highest number of extremely poor people globally, warning that even more citizens risk falling into poverty by 2027.
