Buhari’s media aide, Mallam Garba Shehu, has reiterated that the former president remains a staunch APC member.

“My impression of General Muhammadu Buhari changed for the better after he released his statement restating his loyalty and commitment to the All-Progressives Congress, discountenancing Nasir el-Rufai, who had tried to use clever rhetoric to project the illusion that the former president was tacitly behind his move to the Social Democratic Party,” Omokri said in a statement.

Omokri applauded Buhari’s allegiance to the APC, suggesting that this commitment recognizes the substantial progress made under President Tinubu’s leadership.

He emphasized Tinubu’s accomplishments, citing advancements such as the expansion of the Sokoto-Badagry Highway and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, both vital infrastructure projects that are positively impacting transportation and connectivity in the region.

Additionally, Omokri noted the declining fuel prices in Nigeria, with averages trending downward to around N850 per litre

“Four hundred thousand students are accessing student loans. The minimum wage is now N70,000.

Food prices are dropping slightly, while inflation reduced significantly from 34.80 percent to 24.48 percent in January 2025. Power generation is at an all-time high of 6,003MW, the highest in our history.”

He added, “Federal allocations to states have doubled and, in some cases, tripled. Deaths from terrorism and insecurity are at their lowest level since 2014, even as our GDP grew by 3.8% in Q4 2024.

Nigeria also recorded a 209.6% increase in its trade surplus to N18.86 trillion in 2024 from N6.09 trillion in 2023.

The former presidential aide stated that more regions had been given regional development commissions to accelerate zone development.

“Nigerians are earning more than they did in 2023. Students are learning more than they did in 2023. Nigerians are safer than they were in 2023. Nigeria generates more power than it did in 2023,” Omokri said.
