A former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has listed 11 key achievements of President Bola Tinubu in one week which he believed would have taken former President Muhammadu Buhari one year to achieve.
Omokri, on his Twitter handle said in one week, Tinubu suspended an errant minister, Beta Edu and summoned another minister, Olubunmi Ojo over a controversial contract.
He added that Tinubu also reduced his travel entourage and dramatically cut costs, dismissed two CEOs of federal parastatals for gross negligence, acted on the six weeks degree for cash programme by blacklisting Benin and other nations, announced plans to build a new Chinese-built steel plant in Nigeria and launched the automated passport portal.
Omokri said the president further cleared the ₦12 billion outstanding for the Super Eagles and other national teams, began paying the wage support benefits to civil servants, disbursed ₦105.5 billion for 266 road repairs and intervened to bring peace in Sierra Leone after the foiled coup attempt.
“In one week, Tinubu has achieved what Buhari would have taken one year to complete. This vindicates what I said during the campaigns, that any of the major Presidential candidates would have been better than Buhari.
“The downside is that the administration is not projecting these achievements. They probably need to understand that effective rebranding of Nigeria will only take place when we project positive things that are already happening. If you don’t blow your trumpet, your enemies will blow your downfall,” he said.
