*"Tinubuism" Unmasked: How Clientelism Endangers Our Democracy*

_Let us be clear: democracy is not a marketplace. It is not built on the transactional exchange of loyalty for jobs, contracts, or ministerial positions. Democracy is an enduring pact between the people and their representatives, founded on shared values and collective responsibility. When party loyalty can be bought and sold, our institutions weaken. Policy coherence falters. Accountability evaporates._

_"Tinubuism" seeks to redefine democracy as a system where loyalty is rewarded with office and policy debates are drowned out by defections. But we know better: democracy thrives on the clash of ideas, the steady service of public institutions, and the active engagement of every citizen.This Democracy Day, let us reject the hollow spectacle of clientelism. Let us recommit to building a Nigeria where political allegiance is forged not in the corridors of power, but in the hearts of communities striving for peace, prosperity, and justice.

Fellow Nigerians,

On this Democracy Day, as we mark the restoration of our civilian rule — hard‐won through the sweat and toils of many Nigerians and especially on the blood of late Chief MKO Abiola; I write to you not with fanfare over high‐profile party switchers, but with sober reflection on the state of our nation—and a call to reclaim the promise of our democracy. Today, as President Bola Tinubu and his party trumpet a fresh wave of defections as proof of "Tinubuism," I see instead a dangerous turn toward what I have come to call "the democracy of clientelism."

*A DEMOCRACY BOUGHT, NOT BUILT*
Defections—the act of hopping from one party to another—have become all too common in our Fourth Republic. Rather than reflecting shifts in principle or policy, these moves are too often driven by personal ambition and the lure of government patronage. In the months since President Tinubu assumed office, we have witnessed worthy officeholders abandon years of public service in the PDP, the Labour Party, and other platforms—not to advance a coherent set of ideas or reforms, but to hitch their fortunes to the party in power.
Let us be clear: democracy is not a marketplace. It is not built on the transactional exchange of loyalty for jobs, contracts, or ministerial positions. Democracy is an enduring pact between the people and their representatives, founded on shared values and collective responsibility. When party loyalty can be bought and sold, our institutions weaken. Policy coherence falters. Accountability evaporates.

*WHEN DEFECTIONS DISTRACT FROM OUR REAL CRISES*
While headlines glow with the drama of political turncoats, millions of Nigerians still go to bed hungry. Over 16 million of our compatriots face acute food insecurity, and protests over rising prices of staples flare across our towns and cities. Insecurity—terrorism in the North‐East, banditry in the North‐West, militancy in the Niger Delta—continues to claim lives and destroy livelihoods. Yet instead of focusing on roadmaps to disarm these killers, rebuild communities, and secure farms and markets, the ruling party cavorts in banquet halls, celebrating each headline‐grabbing defection as a victory for "Tinubu's reform agenda."
This is not a reform agenda; it is a diversionary tactic. While we bicker over which governor has jumped ship, our fields lie fallow, our hospitals lack drugs, and our borders remain porous to arms and insurgents. Our democracy is hollowed out when its energy is channelled into the jockeying of political elites rather than into delivering real improvements in your daily lives.

*A RENEWED OPPOSITION VISION*
As leader of the BOOT Party—an opposition that believes in policies over personalities—I stand with you in demanding a different path. We must pivot the national conversation from who is switching parties to what is actually being delivered to our people:

1. SECURITY FOR EVERY CITIZEN
We will press for a truly community‐centered security strategy: upgrading our police force, funding local vigilante groups under clear civilian oversight, and pursuing economic and social interventions that undermine the appeal of insurgency and crime.

2. A THRIVING ECONOMY FOR ALL
Instead of tinkering with subsidies at the top while prices soar at the market stall, we will champion targeted social safety nets, revitalize small and medium enterprises, and boost food production through support for farmers and investment in rural infrastructure.

3. REAL ANTI‐CORRUPTION, NOT SELECTIVE WITCH‐HUNTS
Corruption remains a cancer on our republic. We will insist on empowering our investigative agencies with genuine independence, focusing not on political vendettas but on theft of public funds—wherever it occurs.

4. INCLUSIVE DIALOGUE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Democracy prospers when you—the people—have a voice. We will convene town‐hall meetings in every ward, incorporate youth and women's groups into policy design, and publish clear, measurable performance scorecards for every elected official.

*OUR CALL TO YOU ON DEMOCRACY DAY*
Fellow Nigerians, democracy is more than the ballot box or the headlines. It lives in the markets where parents buy food, in the schools where children learn safely, and in the courts where justice is blind to wealth and influence. On this Democracy Day, I urge you to:

DEMAND PERFORMANCE, NOT PAGEANTRY: Insist that your representatives deliver on security, education, health, and jobs—regardless of the party letter behind their names.

SUPPORT IDEAS, NOT OPPORTUNISTS: Back parties and candidates who present clear, programmatic plans for your community—not those who chase ministerial appointments. Contribute your time, resources and money to development of political parties with ideology like the BOOT Party.

HOLD POWER TO ACCOUNT.: Attend civic forums, join citizen monitoring groups, and use every lawful means—social media, petitions, peaceful protests—to ensure your voice is heard.

*CONCLUSION: RECLAIMING THE SOUL OF OUR REPUBLIC*
"Tinubuism" seeks to redefine democracy as a system where loyalty is rewarded with office and policy debates are drowned out by defections. But we know better: democracy thrives on the clash of ideas, the steady service of public institutions, and the active engagement of every citizen.

This Democracy Day, let us reject the hollow spectacle of clientelism. Let us recommit to building a Nigeria where political allegiance is forged not in the corridors of power, but in the hearts of communities striving for peace, prosperity, and justice. The BOOT Party stands with you in that noble effort—and together, we will ensure that our democracy is not a game of musical chairs, but a living testament to the power of the people.

Happy Democracy Day, and may our collective resolve usher in a brighter tomorrow for all Nigerians.

Yours sincerely,

*Tinubu's Two Years: Failing to Inspire National Confidence Amid an Inherited APC Legacy of Hopelessness*

_After two years, the Tinubu administration has largely dashed Nigerians' expectations—failing to inspire confidence and deliver on its 'Renewed Hope' mandate, especially as government attention now divides between governance and preparations for the 2027 general election. Beyond this mid-term assessment, today's challenges reflect a deeper governance malaise. The BOOT Party remains resolute in calling for a complete recalibration of policies—from energy, health, and education to security and economic management. We envision a Nigeria where transparency, accountability, and genuine citizen empowerment form the cornerstones of public policy. We call on all Nigerians—regardless of party allegiance—to join us in demanding reforms that restore hope through inclusive economic policies, respect for rights, effective security strategies, and accountable leadership. Only then can Nigeria fulfil its promise as the 'Giant of Africa.'_

Released on: Monday, 20 May, 2025

https://BOOT.org.ng/Reboot/Tinubu_Two_Years/

It has been two years since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration came to power. As an opposition party, the Because Of Our Tomorrow (BOOT) Party articulates its concerns and aspirations regarding his record so far. This report reflects our commitment to democratic principles and our deep-seated belief that Nigeria deserves transformative change. Regrettably, the administration's performance falls far short of the 'Renewed Hope' Agenda (RHA) it once promised.

*1. ASSESSMENT OF POLICIES — (30%)*
*RHA Promise:* A diversified, resilient economy that spurs investment, reduces unemployment, and spreads wealth equitably.
*Reality:* The Tinubu administration's policies were hailed as the dawn of a new era, yet in practice many have imposed severe economic hardships on ordinary Nigerians. While the reform agenda initially promised renewed hope, its ex*****on has driven up living costs, eroded personal savings, and disrupted family livelihoods. Nigerians from all walks of life are now voicing their discontent, as these measures have not stabilized the economy but have deepened our communities' vulnerabilities.

*2. HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE — (20%)*
*RHA Promise (implicit in 'Strengthen Institutions'):* Guarantee the rule of law and equal access to justice.
*Reality:* Under Tinubu's rule, the protection of human rights has suffered gravely. Citizens find themselves navigating a legal system that favours those with deep pockets—those who can 'buy' justice—while grassroots protests are met with unnecessarily heavy-handed measures. This deliberate constriction of judicial independence undermines our democratic fabric, leaving Nigerians with little recourse when their rights are trampled. It is high time that justice and fairness be restored—not as abstract ideals but as tangible realities.

*3. SECURITY POLICIES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST INSECURITY — (20%)*
*RHA Promise:* Every Nigerian must feel safe—through enhanced capabilities and intelligence-led operations.
*Reality:* Despite persistent calls for robust security reforms, there has been no tangible shift in combating terrorism, banditry, and kidnappings. The state security apparatus has been reduced to a display of uniforms and fi****ms, lacking the intelligence-led operations needed to neutralize threats effectively. This strategic void leaves our communities exposed and underscores a broader failure to secure the nation against incessant violence.

*4. FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION — (10%)*
*RHA Promise:* Overhaul anti-graft agencies to ensure impartial enforcement.
*Reality:* The administration's anti-corruption drive remains dishearteningly superficial. Institutions like the EFCC now function more as political instruments than as impartial watchdogs. Instead of eradicating corruption, the regime appears to have normalized selective accountability while protecting its own interests. Genuine reform demands transforming these bodies into transparent, efficient entities committed to rooting out graft at every level.

*5. AGRICULTURAL POLICIES FOR FOOD SECURITY — (20%)*
*RHA Promise:* Modernize farming, expand credit access, and secure abundant harvests.
*Reality:* Promises in the agricultural sector have largely gone unfulfilled. Northern farmers continue shouldering largely the responsibility of feeding the nation under challenging conditions, while their southern counterparts wait in vain for announced subsidies. This uneven support deepens regional disparities and jeopardizes national food security. An effective policy must distribute resources equitably and empower all Nigerian farmers to thrive.

*6. APPOINTMENTS IN THE ADMINISTRATION — (15%)*
*RHA Promise:* Enhance governance structures to ensure efficient and transparent service delivery.
*Reality:* Recent appointments have done little to inspire confidence in the government's commitment to merit and inclusivity. Selections appear driven by patronage, political expediency, and loyalty rather than competence and integrity. Such decisions erode public trust and highlight a troubling trend of consolidating power at the expense of accountability.

*7. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION — (15%)*
*RHA Promise (under Economic Reform & Social Investment):* Reduce unemployment and cut poverty rates.
*Reality:* Employment strategies under this regime have proven inadequate and short-sighted. Instead of creating sustainable job opportunities, Nigeria is witnessing the 'Japa Syndrome,' as citizens seek greener pastures abroad. Poverty-alleviation initiatives remain superficial, failing to address systemic drivers of unemployment. The government must invest in dynamic vocational training and local enterprise development to break the cycle of deprivation.

*8. IMPROVEMENTS IN EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, AND INFRASTRUCTURE — (10%)*
*RHA Promise:* Revamp schools and hospitals; expand social-welfare schemes to build human capital.
*Reality*: Much-touted improvements in education, healthcare, power, and infrastructure remain unfulfilled. Bureaucratic bottlenecks continue to impede progress and frustrate young Nigerians; for example, JAMB reforms that once held promise now bog applicants down with glitches. Overburdened healthcare services force our healthcare heroes to operate under extreme pressure. Additionally, stalled infrastructure and power projects have left communities underserved. The federal government must urgently redirect priorities to rebuild these essential sectors and genuinely uplift Nigerians' quality of life.

*9. DIRECT FOREIGN INVESTMENT — (15%)*
*RHA Promise:* Mobilize diaspora capital and skills; harness our youth dividend.
*Reality:* The current pattern of foreign investment reveals a missed opportunity. Although diaspora funds flow into housing, few are channelled into transformative ventures. The administration has not done enough to create an investment-friendly environment that leverages Nigeria's resources and global expertise. We call for strategic reforms to encourage genuine capital and knowledge repatriation.

*10. NATIONAL UNITY — (35%)*
*RHA Promise:* Foster a nation that transcends ethnic and regional divides.
*Reality:* Despite efforts to drive wedges between regions, ordinary Nigerians overwhelmingly desire a 'One Working Nigeria'. A small minority may agitate for separation, but the prevailing sentiment is collective belonging and commitment to a united Nigeria. A government that exploits divisions for political gain sacrifices true cohesion. Unity can only flourish when policies are inclusive and responsive to all Nigerians' diverse aspirations.

*11. WOMEN'S INCLUSION IN GOVERNANCE — (10%)*
*RHA Promise (under Social Inclusion & Political Empowerment):* Advance women's participation and economic inclusion.
*Reality:* Although a handful of women hold government positions, overall gender inclusivity remains disappointing. Token gestures cannot substitute for substantive policies that empower women in governance and economic life. We urge enforceable quotas, expanded access to finance, and gender-responsive budgeting to ensure women's contributions are fully recognized.

*12. CIVIL SOCIETY — (10%)*
*RHA Promise (under Strengthen Institutions):* Safeguard democratic participation and free association.
*Reality:* Civil society bears the brunt of an administration that has systematically undermined key democratic institutions—most notably the judiciary. Political interference weakens the third arm of government, leaving NGOs and activists hamstrung in their efforts to hold the state accountable. This erosion of checks and balances stifles dissent and the civic engagement essential to a vibrant democracy.

*13. OPPOSITION PARTIES — (10%)*
*RHA Promise (under Strengthen Institutions):* Safeguard democratic participation and free association.
*Reality:* In an environment where dissent is often met with state hostility, opposition parties—including the BOOT Party—have shown commendable resilience. Despite operating with limited resources and facing significant challenges, we have steadfastly advocated for transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance. Our efforts to mobilise the citizenry and present viable alternatives underscore our unwavering commitment to the core values of democracy, even amidst adversity. Moreover, the ruling APC continues to pose a significant threat by incessantly attempting to co-opt opposition members and stifle dissent.

*14. DEMOCRACY UNDER THREAT — (10%)*
*RHA Promise (under Federalism & Decentralization):* Amend the national governance structure to afford states greater autonomy.
*Reality:* The imposition of an unelected ex-military 'state administrator' in Rivers State exemplifies an administration drifting toward authoritarian shortcuts rather than democratic solutions—what we at the BOOT Party have described as “an echo of dictatorship.” This undemocratic measure is a stark symbol of government failure; it directly undermines state and local governments autonomy and bypasses the crucial checks provided by our judicial system. As highlighted following Attorney General Prince Lateef Fagbemi's press briefing, such unilateral decisions subvert the rule of law and erode public trust in our democratic institutions. This approach is unsustainable and must be reversed if we are to restore true democratic governance.

*15. LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTONOMY — (30%)*
*RHA Promise:* Enhance governance structures to ensure efficient and transparent service delivery.
*Reality:* While greater local autonomy could improve service delivery, some governors have threatened to resist. The federal government's recent imposition of an unconstitutional ‘state administrator' in Rivers State sends the wrong message about genuine devolution.

*16. FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL — (45%)*
*RHA Promise:* A diversified, resilient economy that spurs investment, reduces unemployment, and spreads wealth equitably.
*Reality:* Though this policy holds promise, its ex*****on has increased deprivation and work-poverty, especially among the poorest Nigerians. The federal government has not ensured that additional funds, available to state and local governments as a result of this policy, are ring-fenced for poverty alleviation to mitigate the policy's impact.

*17. LOOKING AHEAD*
After two years, the Tinubu administration has largely dashed Nigerians' expectations—failing to inspire confidence and deliver on its 'Renewed Hope' mandate, especially as government attention now divides between governance and preparations for the 2027 general election. Beyond this mid-term assessment, today's challenges reflect a deeper governance malaise. The BOOT Party remains resolute in calling for a complete recalibration of policies—from energy, health, and education to security and economic management. We envision a Nigeria where transparency, accountability, and genuine citizen empowerment form the cornerstones of public policy. We call on all Nigerians—regardless of party allegiance—to join us in demanding reforms that restore hope through inclusive economic policies, respect for rights, effective security strategies, and accountable leadership. Only then can Nigeria fulfil its promise as the 'Giant of Africa.'

Condemnation of Edo State Killings: BOOT Party Calls for Justice and Public Awareness https://boot.org.ng/reboot/Edo_State_Killings_Condemnation

The Because Of Our Tomorrow (BOOT) Party strongly condemned the recent killings of travellers in Uromi, Edo state. The party demands that government takes immediate action to ensure that justice is served for the victims and their families.

The BOOT Party's appeal serves as a call to action for both the government and the general public. It is a reminder that while the desire for swift justice is understandable, it is imperative that all measures remain within the boundaries of the law to prevent further erosion of civil order.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
