President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Tuesday claimed that opponents of Nigeria’s development are conspiring to oust the president.

Onanuga stated this in a post on X on Tuesday.

He described the Tinubu administration as “the most focused and transformative in Nigeria’s history.”

He stated that its ongoing reforms are beginning to reshape the nation’s future.

He referenced a 2022 warning by the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, who cautioned that any leader promising effortless prosperity was being dishonest.

Quoting Sanusi, Onanuga wrote, “Emir Sanusi warned Nigerians what to expect from President Tinubu’s reforms. ‘It’s not going to be easy.’ If anybody tells you it would be easy, don’t vote for him.”

The presidential aide then alleged that “haters of Nigeria’s progress are banding together to overthrow an administration that has been the most focused, most transformative in our history.”

His comments came amid the formation of an opposition alliance under the African Democratic Congress platform, aimed at unseating Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
