Nigeria @65: Why critics withhold commendation of Tinubu, by ex-agitatorA former Niger Delta agitator, self-styled General Endurance Amagbein, has said that President Bola Tinubu’s critics are withholding praise for his achievements due to political considerations ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, Amagbein said Nigeria has recorded remarkable progress in its 65 years of independence, particularly under Tinubu’s administration. “Nigeria achieved a record trade surplus of $14.31 billion in 2024, the first in over 25 years. This government has also prioritized the Niger Delta, with projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway aimed at unlocking tourism, trade, and port development. “As Nigeria marks 65 years of independence, I congratulate both the leadership and citizens.
