A Tinubu support group, on Wednesday unveiled what it described as evidence-based scorecard to rally Nigerians to back President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
The group identified measurable gains across key sectors of the economy while urging Nigerians to rally behind the Tinubu administration’s ongoing reforms.
Presenting a comprehensive midterm assessment of the Renewed Hope Agenda at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, National Chairman of TIM, Chief Dr. Obinna Ebirim, noted that the early, often painful policy decisions of the administration are now yielding visible dividends in governance, service delivery and citizens’ welfare.
According to Ebirim, the review was anchored on facts, data and verifiable outcomes rather than partisan sentiment.
He said the Tinubu administration deliberately confronted deep-rooted structural distortions inherited at inception, particularly in public finance, energy pricing and foreign exchange management.
“What our assessment shows clearly is that these were not arbitrary or reckless choices. They were corrective decisions taken in the long-term national interest, and their cumulative positive effects are now evident across multiple sectors,” he said.
Ebirim added that TIM would continue to identify policy gains, engage the administration constructively to do more, and close what he described as a “dangerous under-communication gap” that allows misinformation, opposition rhetoric and anti-Nigeria narratives to flourish in the public space.
Speaking on education, National Secretary of TIM, Dr Ajibola Meraiyebu, recalled that the sector President Tinubu inherited was marked by chronic underfunding, dilapidated infrastructure and alarming out-of-school figures. He said the trajectory has begun to change, with education funding rising from about ₦1.54 trillion in 2023 to approximately ₦3.52 trillion by 2025.
Meraiyebu highlighted the impact of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, noting that ₦161.97 billion has so far been disbursed to 864,798 students across universities, polytechnics and colleges of education nationwide.
“This intervention alone is keeping hundreds of thousands of Nigerian students in school who would otherwise have dropped out,” he said.
Also speaking, Muhammad Elzubairu, TIM Coordinator in Borno State, pointed to expanded TETFund interventions supporting the rehabilitation of lecture theatres, laboratories, hostels and research facilities.
Elzubairu also cited improved UBEC matching grants, teacher development programmes and curriculum reforms emphasising digital literacy, technical skills and entrepreneurship.
On the economy, TIM’s Director of Finance, Mr. Omasirichi Nmecha, acknowledged the hardship associated with subsidy removal and forex unification but argued that the reforms were unavoidable.
Nmecha noted that the elimination of unsustainable fuel subsidy obligations, combined with foreign exchange reforms and improved revenue mobilisation, has led to higher FAAC allocations to states, greater fiscal transparency, strengthened external reserves and renewed investor confidence.
“These are the foundations of long-term economic stability,” Nmecha said.
He added that inflationary pressures from the transition are being progressively moderated.
Addressing security, Edward Ndahi, Director of TIM’s Security Committee, said Nigeria, before May 29, 2023, was characterised by mass abductions, terror attacks and unsafe highways.
According to him, sustained security sector reforms, better inter-agency coordination, enhanced intelligence capabilities and improved troop welfare were responsible for recent gains in the campaign against insecurity.
Ndahi argued that these efforts have resulted in reduced mass abductions, increased rescue operations, disruption of criminal networks and safer movement along major transport corridors.
The Movement equally highlighted the Tinubu administration’s achievements in sectors such as sports, youth and women empowerment, health, information technology, foreign direct investment, FDI, among offers
Speaking on foreign affairs and investment, Stephen Otalike, Director of Recruitment and Mobilization, said renewed diplomatic engagement, clearer policy direction and fiscal reforms have improved Nigeria’s global image, attracted fresh FDI commitments and driven record Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC, allocations to states.
Chairman of the Tinubu Impact Movement, Ebirim stressed that the need for Tinubu to continue in office for a second term is backed by evidence.
“The Tinubu Impact Movement remains committed to ensuring that facts, not falsehoods, guide public understanding and that Nigerians make an informed decision to sustain this trajectory beyond 2027,” Ebirim said.
