UNDERSTANDING PRESIDENT TINUBU’S REFORMS: A CALL FOR PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE

By: – Hon (Dr) Dahiru Hammandikko

Hammandikko, a prominent voice in the political landscape, recently addressed Nigerians, urging them to reconsider their perception of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Gcfr. According to him, those unfamiliar with Tinubu’s style of reformation and transformation may perceive him as a harsh leader, but this is far from the truth. In his view, Tinubu is committed to bringing about a new era of positive change in Nigeria, even if his methods seem tough or misunderstood at the moment.

“What we don’t know still remains unknown until we know it,” Hammandikko pointed out, emphasizing that the country must be patient to fully grasp the benefits of the current administration’s decisions. He warned against falling prey to the opposition’s tactics, which, having lost the election, are now seemingly exploiting the prevailing hardship and hunger experienced by Nigerians to fuel dissent and frustration. He advised citizens to remain calm and composed, urging them to look beyond the surface to see the true intent behind Tinubu’s leadership.

Hammandikko acknowledged the severe impact of hunger and economic hardship on Nigerians, recognizing that it is a difficult challenge to endure. However, he strongly cautioned against allowing these challenges to distract or derail the President’s efforts to reform and transform the country. “To withdraw support now,” he stated, “would be akin to wasting the one year and some months of painful sacrifices that Nigerians have already made.”

He continued, highlighting the kind of leadership Nigeria needs at this critical juncture — a courageous, unwavering, and democratically focused leader who understands the distinction between what the country needs and what it wants. Tinubu, according to Hammandikko, is that leader: bold and resolute, unafraid of making tough decisions even in the face of citizen outcry and opposition resistance. The struggles Nigerians are facing today, he argues, should be seen as a necessary sacrifice for a brighter future.

Hammandikko underscored that Nigeria has already overcome more than 70% of its most challenging obstacles. The country has crossed several dangerous rivers and overcome numerous hurdles that have historically blocked its path to genuine success and prosperity. He remains confident that the efforts and sacrifices made by Nigerians will not be in vain.

As he concluded his address, Hammandikko offered a prayer for President Tinubu and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, hoping for divine assistance to guide the country through these turbulent times. “May Almighty God assist Mr. President and the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he prayed, calling on all Nigerians to rally behind their leader and trust the process, even when it seems difficult to understand.

In these challenging times, Hammandikko message serves as a reminder that transformation often comes with pain and uncertainty. He urges Nigerians to hold on a little longer and to have faith that the sacrifices they are making today will lead to a better and more prosperous future for all.
