Ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has praised the economic policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claiming that Nigeria’s economy is experiencing significant growth under the current administration.
In a Facebook post shared on Wednesday, Omokri argued that the country has recorded steady GDP growth, trade surpluses, and increased food production since Tinubu assumed office.
According to him, the impact of the administration’s economic reforms is visible across different sectors and even reflected in the financial success of some of Nigeria’s biggest business figures.
Omokri pointed to the rising fortunes of billionaire businessmen Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu as evidence that the economy is improving.
He noted that Dangote’s net worth reportedly increased from about $13.9 billion in 2022 to nearly $40 billion under Tinubu’s administration, while Abdul Samad Rabiu recently emerged as Africa’s second-richest man after surpassing South African billionaire Johann Rupert.
The former presidential aide questioned criticism from opposition figures, particularly Peter Obi, insisting that major Nigerian companies and financial institutions have continued to record strong growth under the current government.
Omokri also claimed that Obi’s bank posted record profits during Tinubu’s administration, adding that Nigeria has experienced 12 consecutive quarters of GDP growth.
According to him, the administration has also improved agricultural production, leading to a major drop in food prices across the country in 2025.
He referenced comments previously made by Peter Obi about falling food prices allegedly affecting farmers, arguing that lower food costs are proof that the government’s economic reforms are yielding positive results for ordinary Nigerians.
Omokri maintained that Tinubu’s policies have strengthened the economy and improved living conditions, despite criticism from opposition voices.
