Sam Amadi says Nigerians should not hate Tinubu but hate his policies
Former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi, has called on Nigerians to move away from personal attacks on President Bola Tinubu, urging them instead to focus on his politics and policies.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Amadi warned that demonizing Tinubu as an individual achieves little, especially if he is replaced by someone who is no different in terms of governance.
He drew parallels with the opposition against former President Goodluck Jonathan, stressing that the same approach of targeting the individual rather than the system or policies only produced disappointing outcomes.
“There is no sense in hating Tinubu as a person and then bringing someone equally flawed in politics and governance. That’s what happened with Jonathan. The rational and honest thing is to reject Tinubu’s politics and policies, and instead push for a leader fundamentally different from him,” Amadi wrote.
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
