Twelve questions circulating publicly have been attributed to former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, though authorship stays unverified. The National Patriots welcomes scrutiny grounded in details, figures and the duties of each tier of presidency.
1. Fuel Subsidy: Where Are The Trillions Saved From Subsidy Removal, And What Tangible Benefits Have Nigerians Received?
An August 2026 evaluation estimated N15.8 trillion in financial savings: Federal Government N5.43 trillion, states N6.52 trillion and native governments N3.88 trillion.
Fiscal house helps infrastructure, N223.8 billion scholar financing, N150 billion mortgage help, N50 billion shopper credit score, healthcare, schooling, wages and social safety.
These are estimated fiscal assets, not a separate checking account. States and councils should flip elevated FAAC into colleges, clinics, roads and jobs. Citizens deserve clear accounting.
2. Insecurity: Why Negotiate With Bandits In The North While Taking A Different Approach To Security Issues In The South-West?
Defence Minister General Christopher Musa opposes bandit negotiations and ransom funds. Such negotiations predated Tinubu, together with throughout El-Rufai’s governorship.
Northern operations face forests and distant settlements; cross-border arms; compromised intelligence; hostage dangers; overlapping terrorism, kidnapping, unlawful mining and communal violence; and ambushes.
Oriire in Oyo and operations in Kwara display intelligence-led approaches. The National Patriots advocates stronger army operations, border surveillance and neighborhood cooperation. Different techniques don’t imply totally different values for Nigerian lives.
3. Electricity: You Promised Nigerians Should Not Re-Elect You In 2027 If You Failed To Fix Electricity. Where Is The Light?
Tinubu’s 2022 declaration was rhetorical emphasis—a determine of speech expressing dedication, quite than a literal instruction to voters.
The Electricity Act of June 2023 empowered state electrical energy markets.
By May 2026, 15 states had assumed regulatory duties: Abia, Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Imo, Kogi, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo and Plateau. Gombe subsequently transitioned; Akwa Ibom obtained a switch order. Other states are advancing investments.
Abia’s 188MW Geometric plant serves 9 Aba-area councils. Lagos has 26MW Akute, 21MW Island Power and 40MW Victoria Island tasks; some goal December 2026 operations. Edo’s 100MW CCETC undertaking targets December commissioning, with 46MW reportedly put in.
Regulatory reform isn’t electrical energy already provided.
President Tinubu has delivered the elemental legislative reform he promised with the intention to handle Nigeria’s persistent electrical energy outages. With the authorized and coverage framework firmly established by the train of his presidential powers, implementation now rests with state governments and their private-sector companions. The President has fulfilled his dedication inside his constitutional authority, laying the inspiration for sustainable and dependable electrical energy provide nationwide.
4. Poverty: With Millions Struggling To Survive, What Concrete Steps Has Your Government Taken To Reduce Poverty, Especially In Northern Nigeria?
More than N600 billion in transfers reportedly reached over 10 million weak households.
Five new improvement commissions—North-West, North-Central, South-East, South-South and South-West—complement the North-East Commission by infrastructure and empowerment.
The National Social Protection Plan, proposed 90-Day Cost-of-Living Reduction Plan, $1 billion social safety initiative, NG-CARES, SOLID and HOPE handle hardship, well being and livelihoods.
Seven North-West states obtained roughly N749.7 billion internet FAAC in H1 2026. EFCC oversight ought to guarantee native outcomes; speedy aid should accompany sustainable employment.

5. Agriculture: Where Are The Promised Marketing Boards, Guaranteed Prices And Investments To Make Food Affordable?
The N200 billion Bank of Agriculture Guaranteed Minimum Price Programme, introduced September 8, 2026, targets 500,000 farmers and 11.5 million households.
The $500 million World Bank-supported SPIN programme helps a 500,000-hectare irrigation ambition by 2030.
A Cotton, Textile and Garment Development Board is proposed.
Guaranteed costs shield farmers; irrigation, mechanisation, credit score and processing allow a number of harvests, enhance provide and ease meals prices. Nigeria can’t depend on seasonal rainfall alone.
6. Digital Jobs: Where Are The One Million Digital Jobs Promised To Nigerian Youths?
The 3MTT programme stories 135,000 trainees, 300,000 useful resource customers, 1.8 million registrations and roughly 15,000 facilitated profession alternatives nationwide.
Software, cybersecurity, synthetic intelligence and information expertise can help internships, entrepreneurship and employment.
Facilitated alternatives aren’t essentially everlasting jobs; coaching should convert into paid work.
7. Industrialisation: How Many Industries Have You Built Or Revived In The North-West, And What Is The Status Of The Akk Gas Pipeline?
Initiatives embody Kaduna’s Kakuri textile revitalisation, Kano leather-based and garment exercise, Bank of Industry financing and a proposed textile board.
The inherited 614km Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano pipeline may energy factories and create jobs.
A $50 billion gas-sector funding initiative seeks personal and different funding, not authorities subvention.
Insecurity, employee fatalities, floods, tough terrain, River Niger engineering and failed Chinese financing delayed AKK; NNPC funded continuation.
Oilserv Chairman Emeka Okwuosa cited shorter workdays and rising prices. NNPC reported roughly 95% completion in August 2026.
8. Abductions: Why Does The Government’s Response To School Abductions Appear Different Across Regions? Does Every Nigerian Life Matter Equally?
Absolutely.
Rescue choices mirror intelligence, terrain, hostage security, coordination, neighborhood info, operational flexibility and demographics—together with inhabitants density, settlement patterns, languages, inhabitants motion and faculty places.
Oriire illustrated intelligence-led operations; Kwara and Niger reportedly noticed 308 abductees rescued in August 2026. Headlinenews.News examined Oriire.
Government needs to be judged by its lawful efforts to guard residents and safe their launch, not by whether or not each operation follows an identical procedures. Every Nigerian life issues equally, regardless of ethnicity, faith, geographical location or demographic circumstances.
9. Sunday Igboho Versus El-Rufai: Why Act On The Pleas Of Yoruba Monarchs Regarding Sunday Igboho But Seemingly Ignore Northern Traditional Rulers On Comparable Security And Justice Concerns Involving El-Rufai?
Igboho’s case involved separatist agitation and safety allegations; El-Rufai’s issues statements about alleged interception of the National Security Adviser’s communications.
DSS proceedings adopted a February 2026 interview.
El-Rufai deserves presumption of innocence and due course of. Monarchs can search reconciliation, however can’t override courts; equality requires lawful procedures, not an identical outcomes.
10. Governors’ Accountability: You Asked Nigerians To Hold Governors Accountable. What Practical Mechanisms Will You Provide To Make That Possible?
On October 1, 2026, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede introduced presidential approval to observe state and native FAAC.
Citizens ought to demand budgets, undertaking information and measurable outcomes.
Education, healthcare, agriculture, roads, drainage, water and neighborhood jobs are subnational duties. Increased allocations should enhance every day life.
11. Kaduna Promises: You Made Promises About Jobs, Agriculture, Security And The Akk Pipeline In Kaduna In 2022. Which Have You Fulfilled?
Tinubu commissioned the 300-bed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital in June 2025, with most cancers and nuclear-medicine ambitions.
Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital introduced relocation of 14 clinics on October 26, 2026: gastroenterology, cardiology, rheumatology, dermatology, endocrinology, nephrology, pulmonology, neurology, psychiatry, basic surgical procedure, orthopaedic surgical procedure, urology, neurosurgery and oncology.
One hundred CNG buses reportedly carried 3.2 million passengers, saving N3.5 billion.
Projects embody Kafanchan and Kauru–Kubau roads, Abuja–Kaduna–Kano freeway, N178 billion Mando–Birnin Gwari highway, 203km Kaduna–Kano railway and proposed 50km Kaduna Light Rail throughout two corridors, estimated at N1 trillion, with June 2026 mobilisation.
AKK, textile initiatives and Governor Uba Sani’s agricultural and vocational programmes help jobs. Some tasks stay ongoing.
12. Trust: If You Were A Nigerian Struggling Under Your Administration, Would You Trust Your Promises A Second Time?
My private reply is YES.
I fee Tinubu 85%; the remaining 15% displays forms and states and councils failing to translate FAAC into seen enhancements.
Nine issues help my evaluation: subsidy, forex and income reforms; over $15 billion in NNPC remittances to the CBN over three years, as examined in Nigeria’s Great Reset; elevated FAAC; social safety; NELFUND and vocational schooling; youth programmes—3MTT, NATEP, iDICE, NiYA, YEIDEP and NYSP; roads, rail and electrical energy; the $50 billion gasoline initiative; and irrigation-led agriculture.
Tinubu is a humanitarian who doesn’t need Nigerians to endure. His reforms are tough, however his social interventions present compassion and his dedication deserves recognition. Good intentions should nonetheless produce family advantages.
As the Hausa proverb says:
“Jumma’a mai kyau tun daga Laraba ake gane ta.”
The Friday that can be good can already be recognised from Wednesday.
My reply stays an unequivocal YES. I might vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu once more in 2027, and I encourage Nigerians throughout the nation to do the identical.
We know his dedication and achievements. The twelve questions have been answered with details, figures, insurance policies and proof of implementation.
There is not any compelling motive to disclaim him a second time period. Absolutely none.
He deserves the chance to consolidate reforms and switch stabilisation into prosperity.
THE NATIONAL PATRIOTS POSITION
We welcome scrutiny and distinguish accomplished, ongoing and proposed initiatives.
We can doc not less than 100 reforms, achievements and improvement initiatives throughout the financial system, infrastructure, electrical energy, agriculture, healthcare, schooling, youth, safety, social safety and trade.
State and native governments should account for FAAC.
The final check of Nigeria’s Great Reset isn’t merely how a lot authorities collects, however how a lot Nigerians profit.
Imagine what Nigeria would develop into in one other 3 years with the electrical energy decentralisation in full swing nationwide, industries sprouting up, irrigated farms producing meals crops all yr spherical, gasoline ecosystem opened up, schooling system repositioned with extra youths engaged by the varied free programmes to study expertise, social safety plan in full steam, National safety structure plan in full operation, what a beautiful nation Nigeria would develop into. That is President Tinubu’s imaginative and prescient and mission from our analysis with goal evaluation of credible proof and details.
