Your Excellency,

The political earth beneath us quakes — and with every tremor, the foundation of our party weakens. Nigerians are no longer merely dissatisfied; they are disillusioned. The hardship is biting, trust is evaporating, and the political tide is swiftly turning. We are, in all sincerity, worse off than where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu began his administration.

This moment demands a total recalibration of leadership, policy, and political instincts. Below is a 13-point recovery blueprint — not a wish list, but an urgent prescription for political survival, national healing, and electoral victory.

1. Reconcile with Loyal Party Members and Realign with Political Realities

Before we build new bridges, we must repair the old ones. We must urgently return to the fold those faithful party members, stakeholders, and allies who have felt alienated or discarded. Loyalty should not be punished with silence. APC must erect a grand umbrella of reconciliation, reaching out to estranged political partners who bled for the party when the stakes were highest.

Let us not be distracted by new friends who consistently deliver 9,000, 7,000, or 10,000 votes, while ignoring those who gave millions. The North, our political backbone, deserves not just appreciation, but strategic inclusion. Let us not abandon reality for illusion.

As for our Igbo brothers, they are highly intelligent, pragmatic, and entrepreneurial. They appreciate sincerity over sloganeering. While their political support may not be loud, their economic power is deep. We must approach them not with flattery but with partnership — with sincerity, substance, and mutual respect. Let us build new alliances, but not at the cost of old friendships.

2. Appoint a Strategist Like Yahaya Bello as National Chairman

Politics is warfare by other means. In Yahaya Bello, we have a battle-hardened commander — youthful, fearless, and well-versed in the political psychology of the grassroots. To lead a party in crisis, we need more than a manager; we need a mobilizer, a modern Machiavelli who can outthink, outfight, and outlast the opposition.

3. Fix the Exchange Rate and Strengthen the Naira

The Naira has become a shadow of itself — and the people feel its weakness in their stomachs, not just their wallets. Let us restore macroeconomic sanity and stabilize the currency around ₦150 to the dollar. If our currency continues to crawl, our political capital will continue to collapse. A strong Naira reflects a strong nation.

4. Reinstate Subsidies on Petroleum Products

Fuel subsidy removal was touted as reform, but it turned out to be a humanitarian crisis. When a man cannot afford to go to work or take his child to school, governance has failed. Let us reintroduce a transparent, targeted subsidy model. Subsidy is not a sin — corruption is.

5. Reinstate Electricity Subsidies

No investor will pour capital into a nation that powers its cities with generators. No citizen should pay luxury rates for epileptic supply. Electricity must become affordable and consistent. It is the bedrock of productivity. A government that cannot light up its homes cannot illuminate its people’s hope.

6. Ensure Food Security

Let us flood the markets with grains, restore access to fertilizers, subsidize agricultural tools, and protect our farmers. A hungry citizen will not hear reason. As the Hausa proverb says, “ka ba cikinka abinci kafin ka karanta masa littafi” — feed the belly before you educate the brain.

7. Provide Security of Lives and Assets

No nation thrives in fear. Our streets must be safe, our farms accessible, and our homes secure. Bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists must be treated as enemies of the state. Let us deploy not just weapons, but intelligence, justice, and coordination. A government that cannot guarantee safety cannot guarantee support.

8. Dissolve the Cabinet and Form an Inclusive Government

A house divided cannot stand. The current cabinet lacks diversity, dynamism, and grassroots touch. Dissolve it and form a government of technocrats, professionals, youth, women, and seasoned patriots — not just political loyalists. Let excellence, not ethnicity, dictate appointment.

9. Provide Employment for Graduates

Idle minds are the devil’s workshop — and idle graduates are a time bomb. Every unemployed youth is a ticking crisis. Let us invest in public works, digital economy hubs, manufacturing clusters, and entrepreneurship support systems. Let every certificate carry the promise of a job.

10. Improve Hospital Facilities

A sick nation cannot develop. Nigerians deserve to live, not just to survive. Let us refurbish general hospitals, equip teaching hospitals, train health workers, and make health insurance functional. Health is not a luxury — it is a human right.

11. Repair Road Infrastructure

Our roads should be highways of prosperity, not corridors of death. Bad roads cripple trade, delay emergency services, and frustrate the economy. From Lagos to Lokoja, from Calabar to Kano — let our roads reflect our resolve. Infrastructure is the skeleton of national growth.

12. Revamp Education, Offer Scholarships, and Empower Students

A nation that abandons education is like a tree that cuts its own roots. Our classrooms must become laboratories of innovation, not museums of decay. Fund education. Train teachers. Offer massive scholarships to the brilliant and the poor. Let the future say we built thinkers, not beggars.

13. Develop Hospitality and Tourism

Nigeria’s cultural wealth is a goldmine buried beneath neglect. Tourism can become a trillion-naira industry if we develop our sites, secure our cities, and project our heritage. Hospitality and tourism are not mere aesthetics — they are engines of employment, peace-building, and foreign revenue.

14. Provide Meaningful Palliatives to Cushion Hardship

Palliatives must go beyond photo opportunities. Let them reach the real people — in cash, food, transportation relief, and essential services. Poverty is no longer knocking — it has broken the door. Let the people know the government is not deaf to their pain.

Final Note: The Clock Is Ticking

Mr. President, the window of goodwill is closing fast. We cannot continue to dance on the edge of a volcano. If this rescue plan is not implemented with urgency and sincerity, the 2027 election will not be a contest — it will be a reckoning.

Let us return to our roots, reconcile with our allies, and reconnect with the people. The APC still has time to rise — but time is running out.

History is watching.
