Will they bring back fuel subsidy?

Will they reverse the floating of the naira?

Will the unification of the exchange rate in both the official and parallel markets be reversed?

Will they cancel the student loan which everyone has attested to that a student does not have to know anyone to enjoy it?

Since Tinubu became president, four a four year study in federal universities has been four years. Since May 29, 2023 that he took over tue reign of government, ASUU has down tools only for nine days and finally, not even a day any longer as attention has now turned to non academic staff.

Will they take us back to the days when a four year course will take not less than 6 yearss if the students are lucky?

Will state governments and even federal government start borrowing to pay salaries as it was the case in our not too far past under the two successive government that proceeds the Tinubu administration?

Will they take Nigeria back to the IMF debt list?

What about the 411% (four hundred and one percent) increase in non oil revenue since May 2023 that Tinubu became president?

Will they take the country back to the 97% debt service-to-revenue ratio Tinubu inherited but which he has reduced to 50% in less than 3 years in office?

Daily oil production was barely 1 million barrel per day when he came on board, it has since increased to 1.68 million barrel per day due to improved security in the oil producing areas. Will they reverse that too?

What about the boom this administration has brought to the Nigerian stock markets which has caused it to rise from an all-share index of 55,000 points in May 2003 to 142,000 points as of September 26, 2025?

The federal government’s health budget has risen by 60 per cent over the past two years.

Will they reverse that?

Under the Renewed Hope Health Agenda, N68bn for vaccine procurement has been approved, released, and transferred to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency. In addition, outstanding liabilities of N500bn have been settled, creating greater fiscal space for health spending.

The nation witnessed a 55 per cent reduction in maternal mortality in MAMII local government areas, while public sentiment regarding the health sector is shifting from pessimism to optimism. Over 60,000 health workers trained nationwide, improving confidence and quality of care.

In 2025, health insurance coverage expanded from three per cent to over 11 per cent during the year under review, representing more than 21.1 million Nigerians enrolled across Basic Health Care Provision Fund channels. BHCPF allocation was N131bn in 2024 and is expected to reach N298bn in 2026, enabling states and local governments to achieve more in primary healthcare delivery.

To be reversed and replaced with what?

Will the three federal government oncology centers in Katsina, Enugu and Edo equipped with advanced diagnostic and radiotherapy technology be canceled?

I am aware that Obi said that the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway is a waste and his fellow coalitionist, Amaechi also said that he will cancel it if elected but what about

the Sokoto-Badagry super highway,

the 284-kilometre Kano-Kastina-Maradi rail project and the Kaduna-Kano rail line are nearing completion,

the Trans Sahara road spanning through Cross River – Ebonyi – Benue – Kogi – Nasarawa – Abuja, which is 465km: 118 km by 3 lanes or 59 km by 6 lanes in Ebonyi State – South,

Are you going to stop all these even the completed ones or is it only the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway that will be stopped?

Will they reverse the prompt processing of the Nigerian passport and take us back to the era of regular prison break across the country?

What about the infrastructural development of the federal capital territory?

Tinubu Must Go is not enough.

What are you going to do if by error, you take over the leadership of the country?

Tinubu Must Go Back To Lagos Is Not A Manifesto.

I am telling you now if your supporters can’t tell you.
