A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has expressed that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not require 4,000 social media influencers to showcase its achievements. According to Mumuni, the administration's record should speak for itself. This statement comes in response to the Federal Government's plan to mobilize 4,000 social media influencers to promote infrastructure projects and other achievements of the Tinubu administration, particularly to young Nigerians, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The plan to mobilize influencers was announced by Minister of Works, David Umahi, in Abuja. Umahi stated that the proposed influencer network would enable the government to communicate its infrastructure projects and achievements directly to Nigerians, especially young people. However, Mumuni argued that the administration's achievements are evident and do not require paid promotion. He expressed confidence in the administration's efforts, citing the transformation Nigeria has undergone since President Tinubu assumed office.
Mumuni, an author and security expert, highlighted the challenges faced by the Tinubu administration, noting that the government inherited a country with serious economic and institutional problems. Despite these challenges, he commended President Tinubu for demonstrating the courage to take difficult decisions aimed at addressing the problems. Mumuni emphasized that the administration's economic reforms, institutional changes, and efforts towards fiscal responsibility provide sufficient evidence of its direction.
According to Mumuni, the administration's actions are not hollow promises, but rather a demonstration of a leader who understands that real change demands sacrifice but yields lasting transformation. He defended the administration against criticisms over insecurity and economic hardship, arguing that many of the challenges confronting Nigerians predated the Tinubu administration. Mumuni attributed the insecurity and hardships to legacies of past mismanagement, not products of the current governance.
Mumuni called for continued support for the administration, stating that an additional four years would give Tinubu the opportunity to complete the work he has started. He envisioned a Nigeria where security is restored, economic dignity returns to its people, and hope is no longer a luxury but a birthright. Mumuni urged Nigerians to look beyond cynicism and maintain confidence in the country's capacity for greatness.
He emphasized that President Tinubu has proven his mettle and now requires the mandate to finish what he has started. Mumuni stressed that Nigeria's future depends on it, encouraging citizens to give the administration the support it needs to achieve its goals. By doing so, he believes that Nigeria can overcome its current challenges and achieve greatness.
In conclusion, Mumuni's statement reflects his confidence in the Tinubu administration's achievements and its ability to address the country's challenges. His call for continued support and confidence in the administration's leadership highlights the importance of stability and continuity in Nigeria's governance.
