Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, the National Coordinator of Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), a pro-Tinubu support group, has described President Bola Tinubu as a divinely chosen leader committed to steering Nigeria towards progress and prosperity.
Alawuje, in a statement issued on Monday, urged Nigerians to rally behind the President, assuring them that the current socioeconomic hardship is only temporary and will soon pass.
“We acknowledge the hardships faced by Nigerians during this transitional period. However, these challenges are temporary,” he stated. “The ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda is not merely a slogan but a tangible plan that is already yielding positive results. The masses are beginning to experience the benefits of these reforms, and the future holds promise.”
He called on citizens to remain patient and supportive, expressing confidence in Tinubu’s vision for a better Nigeria.
“We urge all Nigerians to support President Tinubu’s vision for a prosperous and united nation. Let us stand together, transcending ethnic, religious, and political divides, to build a Nigeria that future generations will be proud of.
“We reaffirm our unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His leadership is a divine blessing, and with God’s guidance, Nigeria will emerge stronger and more united.

“Those unfamiliar with the historical context of Nigeria’s struggles may not comprehend the significance of the reforms currently underway. While some have been politically compromised or are intimidated by entrenched elites, others remain fixated on perpetuating a system that benefits only a select few.
“Before the Second Republic, Nigeria stood as the pride of Africa. However, subsequent years witnessed a decline: the economy faltered, industries collapsed, and our import bills soared while exports dwindled. The naira depreciated, and our national institutions weakened.
“We commend all past democratically elected presidents since 1999 for their intentions to address these issues. However, many were deterred by the enormity of the task and the prevailing challenges. The system continued to deteriorate, and the nation’s structures neared collapse.
“Enter President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a leader of unparalleled courage and foresight. He has undertaken the monumental task of dismantling obsolete structures and instituting reforms aimed at long-term stability and growth. His administration’s efforts to reduce the debt service-to-revenue ratio from 97% to 65% within 17 months are commendable.”
