Aminu-Zaria Advocates Patience for Tinubu's Economic Reforms

Dr Abdulmumini Mohammed Aminu-Zaria, the Chairman of the Tinubu/Uba Sani Mobilisation Network, spoke at a press conference in Kaduna on October 11, 2026. He urged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic policies, asserting that the current hardships would ease as the reforms begin to yield results.

Aminu-Zaria acknowledged the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians but argued that the policies were necessary and that abandoning them could worsen the situation. He stated that the mobilisation network aimed to secure 1.2 million votes in Kaduna State for Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in the 2027 general elections.

He defended the removal of the petrol subsidy, highlighting its implications for government finances, and questioned opposition proposals to restore it. Aminu-Zaria also supported the principle of power rotation between northern and southern Nigeria, advocating for Tinubu to complete two terms following the eight years served by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
