Dele Momodu, President Tinubu Is Not Using “Jazz”. He Is Using Performance. Even You Are Looking Fresher and More Robust Under Tinubu – Reno Omokri

Last week, Mr Dele Momodu admitted that he does not know why various Governors elected on different political party platforms are gravitating to the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu, and attributed the situation to mystical powers colloquially known in Nigeria as ‘Jazz’.

Then today, Sunday, March 1, 2026, he released a statement accusing the President of “abysmal failures in all ramifications.”

Well, let us consider Mr Momodu’s statement factually. Is President Tinubu using Juju to win over his political opponents? And has he performed poorly on the economy and in security?

On the economy, in just two years, President Tinubu added $67 billion to Nigeria’s GDP, moving us from a ₦269.29 trillion economy on May 29, 2023, when he became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.

Furthermore, Nigeria’s balance of trade has been in surplus every quarter since President Bola Tinubu took office.

In 2020, Nigeria had a trade DEFICIT of ₦7.375 trillion, or $18.9 billion.

In 2021, Nigeria had a trade DEFICIT of N1.94 trillion, or $6.49 billion.

But since President Bola Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, Nigeria has not experienced even one quarter of a trade deficit, and Nigeria has experienced ten consecutive quarters of trade SURPLUSES, including:

N1.3 trillion in Q3 2023
N3.6 trillion in Q4 2023
N4.4 trillion in Q1 2024
N3.7 trillion in Q2 2024
N5.3 trillion in Q3 2024
N3.4 trillion in Q4 2024
N5.2 trillion in Q1 2025
N7.5 trillion in Q2 2025
N6.7 trillion in Q3 2025

And in the first nine months of 2025, Nigeria recorded a trade surplus of $10.83 billion, with exports of $44.06 billion outpacing imports of $33.23 billion.

Additionally, our GDP has grown every quarter and year that President Tinubu has been in office, with a 3.40% increase in 2024 and 3.87% in 2025.

Meanwhile, both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have projected a 4.4% GDP growth rate for Nigeria in 2026.

Under Tinubu, our economy is growing faster than our population, a departure from the pre-Tinubu era.

Also, due to the Tinubu administration’s policies, all Nigerian states are receiving at least 200% more federal allocation than they were previously receiving.

For example, you, Dele Momodu, are from Edo State. In 2022, Edo State received only ₦87.50 billion from the federation account. However, in the first eight months of 2025 alone, Edo State received ₦176.63 billion from the federation account.

It is this strong economic performance, rather than Jazz, that has led almost all of Nigeria’s 36 governors to align with President Tinubu.

Moreover, under Tinubu, according to the World Bank. Nigeria now has the second-largest manufacturing base in Africa. Only Egypt, with a manufacturing capacity of $59.6 billion, is above Nigeria’s with $55.7 billion.

It is therefore no surprise that we have moved from being the top petrol importer in Africa in 2023 to being the number one fuel exporter in West Africa in 2026.

As a result of the above, the IMF listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025, a fact celebrated by Elon Musk, the world’s richest man.

Our citizens no longer experience fuel queues, and in 2025 alone, the price of petrol reduced more than three times. This is unprecedented in the history of our nation.See More, Details. .

And the reduction in fuel prices has positively affected our inflation rate. In May 2023, Nigeria’s headline inflation rate was 22.41%. As of today, our food inflation rate is in single digits at 8.89%. Shockingly, your ADC colleague, Peter Obi, is now complaining that food prices are too low! Perhaps he wants Nigerians to suffer so he can offer them Hero beer!
