Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Masari, has said he has not seen a Nigerian president with better plans for the country than President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his nearly 40 years of involvement in politics.
Masari made the assessment in comments reported by Nigerian media outlets on September 23, 2026.
“I’ve never seen a Nigerian president with better plans for the country than Tinubu in nearly 40 years of politics,” Masari said, according to reports.
The former Katsina State governor’s remarks amount to a personal political assessment of the Tinubu administration and its stated programmes.
Tinubu’s government has focused on reforms in areas including energy, infrastructure, investment and public-sector financing. The administration has also faced criticism and public debate over the cost of living, petrol prices and the effect of its economic policies on households and businesses.
Masari’s statement should be understood in the context of his political support for the President rather than as an independently measured comparison of all Nigerian administrations.
The former Speaker’s comments come as political figures continue to make public assessments of Tinubu’s performance ahead of the 2027 general elections. Such assessments remain subject to differing political views and evaluations of the administration’s policies and outcomes.
The statement adds to the growing public debate over the President’s record and the competing arguments being presented by supporters and opponents of the administration.
