The Executive Secretary of the National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), Biodun Ajiboye, has declared that no Nigerian government has given as much attention and support to state governments as the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking in an interview with ARISE NEWS on Thursday, Ajiboye described Tinubu as one of the most practical presidents Nigeria has ever had, noting that his leadership is marked by a high level of responsiveness to the needs of state governments.
“This president is one of the most practical presidents we have ever had in this country,” Ajiboye stated. “There has been no government that has taken care of state governments more than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done.”
He highlighted Tinubu’s support in terms of resource allocation, policy attention, and what he described as “emotional intelligence” in governance. According to Ajiboye, the president’s commitment to decentralised development is evident in the way he engages state actors and supports their administrative needs.
While acknowledging that opposition figures may not give the administration due credit, Ajiboye challenged critics to ask themselves whether they could perform any better if placed in the same position.
“I don’t expect any opposition to say good things about our government. But whatever they say, they must be mindful of the fact that if they come on this seat, can they do better? Those are the kind of questions they should ask themselves,” he added.
Ajiboye’s remarks come amid continued debates over federal-state relations and the equitable distribution of national resources under the Tinubu administration.
