Ambassador-designate Reno Omokri has described President Bola Tinubu as the man who saw tomorrow, following Senegal's problems with fuel subsidy.

Senegal just announced that it can no longer afford to pay for fuel subsidy after it rose from $418 million to $2.3 billion because of the Middle East crisis.

This came after the crippling fuel subsidy had drained that nation's revenues and seriously limited the government's ability to provide social services.

According to Omokri, the situation in Senegal shows the brilliance of President Tinubu, who foresaw this ahead for Nigeria and took harsh but necessary decisions that have now resulted in an economically and politically stable climate for the country.

"This is why Nigeria has experienced 12 consecutive quarters of GDP growth and trade surpluses, adding $67 billion to our economy and moving us from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.
Nigerians may recall that, in addition to Senegal, Mr Peter Obi had urged Nigeria to emulate the economic policies of Argentina, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.

"Given the economic realities of today, and the soundness of the Nigerian polity, especially the fact that the International Monetary Fund acknowledged us as the sixth largest contributor to world GDP growth in 2025, it is hoped that Mr. Peter Obi can be honest to his followers and true to his conscience by admitting that he was wrong and that, indeed, President Tinubu's policies were the right panacea for Nigeria.

"And just as I congratulate President Bola Tinubu for winning the APC Presidential Primary election today with 10,999,162 votes, I urge Nigerians to remember whose economic policies brought Nigeria out of the doldrums, and whose would have plunged us into crisis," Omokri said.
