The former presidential assistant, Reno Omokri, praised President Bola Tinubu for making remarkable progress in his 22 months in office, noting that the life of the Nigerians has improved since he assumed the position.
Omokri also praised the recent statement of loyalty of former President Muhammadu Buhari to the ruler Congress of all progressives, saying that he contradicts the statement of the former governor of the state of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, that his recent dropout to the Social Democratic party had the blessing of the former president.
The former governor, who defected from the APC last week, said he received the approval of the former president to make his movement. However, Buhari's media assistant, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the former president was still loyal to the ruling party.
“My impression of General Muhammadu Buhari changed for the best after he issued his statement by redestaging his loyalty and commitment to the Congress of the Progressives, discounting Nasir El-Rufai, who had tried to use an intelligent rhetoric to project the illusion that the former president was tacitly behind his movement towards the Social Democratic Party,” said Omokri in a statement.
He said that the former president's loyalty to his party acknowledged that the significant advances that his successor is carried out.
Omokri said that Tinubu was taking Nigeria del Bosque, listing the president's reference points: “The Sokoto-Badagry road has arrived in Kebbi since the state of Sokoto and is progressing daily.

Food prices decrease slightly, while inflation was significantly reduced from 34.80 percent to 24.48 percent in January 2025. Energy generation is in a historical maximum of 6.003MW, the highest in our history. “
He added: “Federal assignments to states have doubled and, in some cases, tripled. Deaths due to terrorism and insecurity are at their lowest level since 2014, even when our GDP grew 3.8% in the fourth trillion of the 2024 trillion trill. Nigeria also recorded an increase of 209.6% in its commercial surplus to N18.86 billion in 2024 from N6.09 Trillones in 2023.
