Tinubu’s Interventions Reaching Poor Nigerians, Says Sokoto Gov
Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has described as propaganda the opposition campaign claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not impacted the lives of Nigerians in the last three years.

Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, recently denounced opposition claims that President Bola Tinubu has failed to impact the lives of Nigerians over the past three years. Speaking at a One-Day National Symposium in Jos, Plateau State, Aliyu insisted that the President's contributions to the nation are readily apparent. He stated, "If you don’t see Tinubu’s impact on Nigerians, you’re not in Nigeria."
Aliyu highlighted documented government support, including free fertilizer, assistance for the poor, and visible initiatives aimed at food security. The governor called on Nigerians to support Tinubu’s re-election, expressing confidence in his ability to deliver for the country. However, opposition figures have challenged the administration’s economic record.
ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar recently criticized Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele’s defense of Tinubu’s policies, calling it a "desperate exercise in revisionism." Atiku argued that the claims surrounding public debt, subsidy removal, debt servicing, and workers’ welfare are false, stating that no amount of presentation can conceal the economic hardships faced by Nigerians.
His assertions stand in stark contrast to the governor’s assertions about Tinubu’s tangible contributions.
