NIGERIA IS ANGLOPHONE – TINUBU IS NOT FRENCH!
Before he became the Nigerian President in May 2023, Tinubu had always patronized French Hospitals for medical checks and it is no surprise that he is now stuck!
Although his handlers never admitted that he has health issues just like his predecessor, his incessant visits to Paris, France had always been “official or working visits”!
He has traveled to France on six different occasions, spent a km m of 51 days outside of the country on tax payers monies.
Bayo Onanuga, Presidential Spokesman says that his principal could only “think out of the box” when in Paris!
Tinubu’s obsession for France is of national concern considering the economic depletion of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), each time he embarked on each “official” tour!
BREAKING NEWS:
President Bola Tinubu has departed Abuja on Wednesday 2nd April on a working visit to Paris, France.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga.
Mr Onanuga said the President would appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones.
He would also be using the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.
President Tinubu “will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities”, the statement said.
“Recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion,” it continued.
While away, President Tinubu will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities, it also announced.
President Tinubu would be returning to Abuja in about a fortnight.”
NIGERIA ‘S TRADE WITH FRANCE.
In 2023, Nigeria’s exports to France totaled US$4.26 billion, with mineral fuels, oils, and distillation products making up the majority, while France imported US$4.75 billion worth of goods from Nigeria, according to Trading Economics.
Nigeria’s exports to France are heavily reliant on crude oil, with mineral fuels making up a significant portion of the trade.
France is among the top destinations for Nigeria’s exports, alongside countries like the Netherlands, Spain, India, and Indonesia.
ANALYSIS BY WIKKITIMES ON TINUBU’S INCESSANT TRIPS TO FRANCE!
“Tinubu Spends Over N630 Million Fueling His Jet For Six Trips to France.
Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has travelled to Paris, France, six times, set to spend a total of 51 days there, with the current 14-day trip inclusive costing
Current 14-day trip inclusive costing over N630 million in aviation fuel.
With the current price of aviation fuel in Nigeria currently around N980 per litre, this means N630,806,400 has been spent solely on jet fuel for these trips.
While government officials describe these visits as either official, economic, or private, critics argue that the frequent trips lack transparency and are burdening Nigeria’s economy at a time when the country is grappling with severe economic hardship.
As President, Tinubu travelled to Paris on June 20, 2023, for five days and went back on June 24, 2024, for 14 days. He visited again on August 19, 2024, for five days.
Had another trip to Paris again on November 27, 2024, lasting five days, followed by an eight-day visit on February 5, 2025. His current trip adds another 14 days to this tally.
Nigeria is currently facing economic distress, with inflation at rate 23.18 percent and the naira depreciating against major foreign currencies.
Citizens are grappling with high food prices, fuel subsidy removal, and an increase in electricity tariffs.
Tinubu’s repeated visits to France remain shrouded in secrecy, fueling speculations that he is using public funds for private health concerns without transparency.
Many Nigerians lack access to basic medical facilities, with underpaid doctors and a worsening brain drain in the health sector.
Also, with 51 days to be spent in France alone in 20 months, Tinubu has spent nearly one-twelfth of his time in office outside Nigeria.”
THIS KIND OF AUDACITY WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY!
Shortly after his investiture as President of Nigeria in 2023, Bola Tinubu was elected Chairman of the Economic Commission of West African States (ECOWAS), dominated by French and Portuguese Nations while he could hardly grapple with the economic mess he had created with the removal of Fuel Subsidy and the complete destabilization of the Foreign Exchange architecture!
In a Parliament Democracy, he would have been blocked by the Opposition because it was diversionary and a ploy to take advantage of Nigeria’s mismanaged economy of consecutive administrations – military and civilian!
UNDER TINUBU’S WATCH ECOWAS HAS DISINTEGRATED!
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS; also known as CEDEAO in French and Portuguese) is a regional political and economic union of twelve countries of West Africa.
The stated goal of ECOWAS is to achieve “collective self-sufficiency” for its member states by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union.
ECOWAS currently has 12 member states: five French-speaking, five English-speaking, and two Portuguese-speaking. All current members joined the community as founding members in May 1975, except Cape Verde which joined in 1977.
When Bola Tinubu took over, Niger was suspended from ECOWAS after the 2023 coup d’état and threatened with military intervention if President Mohamed Bazoum is not restored to office, causing the Nigerien crisis.
Additionally, ECOWAS closed all land and air borders between other member states and Niger and instituted a no-fly zone on all commercial flights to and from Niger. The suspension removed all commercial and financial transactions and froze Niger’s assets in ECOWAS central banks.
On 16 September 2023, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso formed a military alliance, the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), following ECOWAS’s threat to intervene to restore civilian rule in Niger.
On 21 November 2023, Niger’s military government asked the ECOWAS regional court to order the lifting of sanctions imposed on the country. Until the coup, aid from countries like the United States and international organizations like ECOWAS accounted for almost half of Niger’s annual budget.
Following Niger’s ECOWAS suspension, Niger’s neighbors closed their borders to the country and 70 percent of its electricity, coming from Nigeria, was cut off.
NIGERIAN PRESIDENT TINUBU IN FRANCE AS SAHEL JUNTA MINISTERS VISIT RUSSIA.
Bola Tinubu, President of Nigeria, a country seen as a Western ally, has headed for France on a working visit. Meanwhile, foreign ministers from the junta-led states of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso are visiting Moscow to strengthen ties with Russia. Tinubu’s two-week trip to France, however, is not a conventional diplomatic outreach. Instead, the president calls it a “retreat” for self-reflection on his administration’s performance. France remains his most frequently visited destination—the same France that has been ousted from several West African nations. Tinubu’s visit coincides with a high-profile trip by foreign ministers from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to Russia. These three countries have abandoned the West-backed regional bloc ECOWAS, of which Nigeria’s Tinubu is the current chair.
IS TINUBU NOT A CONFUSED MAN RUNNING FROM PILLAR TO POST?
Contrary to his handlers propaganda of improved economy, the apex Central Bank Report says – Economy Has Failed Under TINUBU!
Excerpts show that Nigerian Economy Under Tinubu fails to meet revenue target in 2024 .
“The report dated 31st March 2025, further noted that the “FGN retained revenue was 10.40% higher than in the preceding quarter but remained significantly below the target, standing 48.57% short of the expected figure.”
“According to the document “federally collected revenue saw a 5.31% increase compared to the previous quarter, though it still fell short of the benchmark by 19.67%.”
“On the expenditure side, aggregate expenditure increased by 2.22% compared to Q3 2024, though it was 22.09% lower than the quarterly target. As a result, the fiscal deficit narrowed by 3.61% when compared to the previous quarter, but widened by 34.44% relative to the proportionate quarterly target,” the report read.
“Nigeria has struggled to fund its budget overtime, relying heavily on loans which has overtime led to high debt servicing figures.
“At end-September 2024, public debt stock remained within the 70.00 per cent threshold for Market-Access Countries,” the report read
“Total public debt outstanding stood at ₦142.32 trillion (51.29% of GDP), at end-September 2024, and was 5.97 per cent, higher than the level.”
