PART 5: THE PRESIDENT, ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE ROAD TO 2027

Every president inherits problems.

No president starts with a blank page.

That is true.

But every president must also be judged by results.

Leadership requires accountability.

If a government wants credit for success, it must also accept responsibility for failure.

As conversations about 2027 begin to grow louder, many Nigerians are asking:

Why is election politics already dominating discussions when millions are struggling with daily survival?

Why do citizens often feel disconnected from their leaders?

Why do many communities believe their suffering is not receiving sufficient attention?

Supporters of President Tinubu argue that reforms take time.

They say difficult decisions today will produce benefits tomorrow.

Critics respond with a simple question:

How much suffering should citizens endure while waiting for those benefits?

This is perhaps the most important debate facing Nigeria today.

Not whether one supports or opposes a politician.

But whether governance is improving the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

Because at the end of the day, government is not about power.

Government is about people.

And the ultimate question remains:

Three years after May 29, 2023, is Nigeria moving forward, standing still, or moving backward?

What do you think?

Rose: A fair assessment of any government should focus on results and the impact on citizens' lives. Beyond politics and promises, Nigerians want to see tangible improvements in security, livelihoods, and overall quality of life.
