President Tinubu Took Bullets For Nigeria To Survive – Says Bayo Onanuga
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has defended the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu, saying the administration made painful but necessary sacrifices to prevent Nigeria’s fiscal collapse.
In an article titled “Bola Tinubu: the man who took the bullet for Nigeria to survive,” Onanuga said opposition politicians have stepped up misinformation ahead of the 2027 elections despite what he called key achievements under the government.
According to Onanuga, Tinubu inherited a weak economy with fuel scarcity, multiple exchange rates, high debt servicing, low revenue, and an unsustainable subsidy regime.
He said that subsidy removal and naira flotation were tough reforms that improved state allocations.
“The man who has taken the bullets to make Nigeria survive a fiscal disaster is even more willing to take additional bullets to make all Nigerians safe,” he said.
Onanuga further added that increased allocations have helped states fund projects and pay salaries, while also claiming visible development across several states.
“When local councils begin to receive their allocations directly from the Federation Account, the Tinubu effect will ensure that more governance cascades down to the 774 local councils,” Onanuga stated.
He also cited improvements in the stock market, infrastructure projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, reforms in energy, student loans via NELFUND, and credit schemes under CREDICORP.
While admitting insecurity remains a challenge, he said the government is boosting security efforts and international cooperation, insisting the administration will be remembered for major reforms.
