Mr. President, You Did Not Inherit a Dilapidated Nigeria — You Are Worsening It
— Emir Mohammed Sanusi’s Message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I strongly disagree with your claim that you inherited a dilapidated Nigeria from your predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari. Your administration’s spending patterns contradict this assertion. Below are my reasons:
Extravagant and Unjustifiable Expenditures Under Your Leadership:
₦21 billion allocated for renovating the Vice President’s residence.
₦70 billion given to National Assembly members to purchase SUVs — each vehicle costing ₦160 million.
₦4 billion for renovation of Dodan Barracks and an additional ₦3 billion for Aguda House.
₦5 billion handed to the Presidential Tax Reforms Committee (less than 20 members), headed by Taiwo Oyedele, with no tangible outcome.
₦1.5 billion allocated for vehicles for the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu — despite the fact that the Office of the First Lady is not recognized by the Constitution.
A 300% salary increase for judges, passed swiftly by an indifferent and irresponsible Senate.
₦5 billion budgeted for the presidential fleet.
₦5 billion for a presidential yacht.
A staggering ₦225 billion allegedly spent on a new presidential jet.
₦90 billion allocated for the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage.
Billions spent on foreign trips for yourself and the Vice President at the expense of suffering citizens.
Every senator now earns ₦21 million monthly, and House of Representatives members ₦13.5 million monthly — all salary hikes approved under your administration.
The ₦15 trillion Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road contract was allegedly awarded illegally to your associate, Gilbert Chagoury, who was previously repatriated under former President Obasanjo.
Alarming Governance Trends:
You have appointed the largest cabinet in Nigeria’s history — how is this being financed?
You created a new Ministry of Livesto
