Tinubu’s 411% Revenue Boom: A New Dawn for Nigeria, A Crushing Defeat for Opposition Prophets of Doom
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) heartily welcomes the historic revenue achievements unveiled by the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Dr. Zacch Adedeji. The record-shattering 411% surge in revenue collection within such a short period is clear evidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bold economic reforms are not just working – they are delivering beyond expectations.
From oil revenues to non-oil collections, VAT, customs, and for the very first time, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) remitting directly into the Federation’s account, the results paint a picture of a nation reclaiming its financial integrity. These milestones reflect transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public finance – values that have long eluded our fiscal system until now.
Our people say, “When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.” The deep structural reforms initiated by President Tinubu are already strengthening Nigeria’s foundation for sustainable growth. The overwhelming revenue boom is not accidental – it is the product of purposeful leadership, sound policy direction, and uncompromising commitment to national renewal.
The Lagos APC further notes that the incoming tax regime in January 2026, as clarified by the FIRS, will not place additional burdens on Nigerians but will widen the tax net and ensure fairness. This represents a people-centered approach to governance, where growth and responsibility go hand in hand.
We only have pity for the opposition whose pack of lies has, as expected, failed the test of time. However, we are not surprised about their lack of knowledge since they consist mainly of bitter, frustrated, and disillusioned characters who have lost touch with the modern realities and demands of governance. It is worth reminding these prophets of doom – who gleefully predicted collapse, chaos, and untold hardship – that the very reforms they mocked are now rewriting Nigeria’s economic story.
As our people wisely say, “The frog’s noise cannot stop the elephant from drinking water,” and “A barking dog cannot stop the market from holding.” While the opposition traffics in falsehood and fear-mongering, the Tinubu administration is producing facts, figures, and results that even the fiercest critic cannot deny.
The recent by-election victories nationwide were already a referendum on the Tinubu administration; today’s fiscal breakthroughs only serve as further proof that Nigeria is on the right path.
Indeed, the question, “Is PBAT working?” has been answered loudly and clearly by the numbers. Yes – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working, and Nigerians are witnessing a turnaround that cynics said was impossible.
The Lagos APC congratulates President Tinubu, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, and all reform-minded patriots driving this change. Together, we affirm that Nigeria will rise again. So help us God.
