With all due respect Mr. President 240 million Nigerians are suffering/poverty/ darkness/bleeding daily we now 5/5/2026 why sir this are lies, decades of failed promises fix Nigerian now no blame games sir

What Tinubu actually said
According to several independent Nigerian news outlets, Bola Tinubu made the remark during a 2022 campaign rally in Delta State while mocking Peter Obi’s emphasis on data and statistics. The reported quote was:
