Former Nigerian lawmaker Shehu Sani has argued that President Bola Tinubu will remain unpopular until his policies begin to yield positive outcomes for the country.

Sani explained that Tinubu is fully aware of the unpopularity that comes with his current initiatives. He shared his thoughts during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

Reflecting on his own experiences in parliament, Sani recalled facing resistance from northern senators when he spoke out about insecurity in the region. “In politics, you’re expected to support the president, especially if he comes from your area,” he said.

He further added that Tinubu is taking on a project he knows will cost him popularity. “The choice is clear,” Sani said. “You either satisfy people with what they want or make tough decisions for the country’s future, even if it means losing some support or votes.”

Nyesom Wike Says He’ll Forgive Fubara If He Apologizes Sincerely

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says he’s willing to forgive suspended Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, but only if Fubara takes responsibility and offers a sincere apology.

Wike, who has been at odds with Fubara since he became governor in 2023, made this known during a media chat in Abuja. Their feud led to a major political crisis in Rivers, splitting the state assembly into factions and raising security concerns.

As the tension worsened, President Bola Tinubu stepped in, suspending Fubara for six months, declaring a state of emergency, and appointing a sole administrator to stabilize the situation.

Speaking on efforts to restore peace, Wike said no genuine steps have been taken by those close to Fubara. He questioned the sincerity of those claiming to want peace but doing nothing meaningful about it.

“I’ve asked her to name one elder in Rivers State working closely with the governor who has actually tried to bring peace,” he said. “If nothing is done, we’ll end up back where we started. That doesn’t help anyone.”

He also revealed that once President Tinubu got involved, the impeachment notice from the state assembly was immediately withdrawn. For Wike, the door is still open — but only if Fubara is honest and willing to make peace.
