He wrote: “Bola Tinubu thinks he’s smart. You took money from Nigerians under the pretext of subsidy removal and gave it to governors to secure their support.
“Now, as the election approaches, you realise the governors can’t deliver for you, and you’re returning to ask Nigerians—the very people whose money you took—to hold the governors accountable. It won’t work.”
