Second Term Momentum Builds: Fasoranti Speaks On Tinubu’s Performance

The immediate past Secretary to the Ondo State Government, Taiwo Fasoranti, has said President Bola Tinubu assumed office at a critical period in Nigeria’s history.

Fasoranti, son of Afenifere leader Reuben Fasoranti, made the remarks on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, noting that despite the country’s challenges, the current administration has recorded progress in key sectors.

He stated that the benefits of democracy are becoming increasingly visible, adding that while Nigeria is not yet where it should be, ongoing reforms are moving the country in the right direction.

Fasoranti highlighted improvements in the economy, particularly in the foreign exchange market, pointing to a decline in the dollar-to-naira exchange rate as a sign of gradual stabilisation.

On insecurity, he said the Federal Government is addressing the issue with deliberate effort, stressing that security challenges are not unique to Nigeria.

He also expressed confidence in the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, saying it is beginning to yield positive results, and urged continued support for government initiatives aimed at strengthening democracy and development.

Fasoranti further declared strong confidence in Tinubu’s chances of re-election in 2027, stating that he believes the president has performed well and deserves another term in office.

He also confirmed his intention to contest for the Ondo Central Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections, saying his ambition is driven by a desire to provide quality representation and effective leadership.

According to him, his goal is to ensure that his constituency benefits more from federal programs and democratic dividends under the current administration.

Fasoranti also commended Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, noting that the state is on a steady development path and needs stronger federal presence to accelerate growth.

He added that his upbringing under the Omoluabi values of Afenifere would guide his leadership style, promising accountability and effective service delivery if elected.

Fasoranti further said his experience as a medical doctor who served at the Presidential Villa for 15 years has given him the exposure needed for legislative responsibilities.

He expressed confidence that returning to Abuja as a senator would enable him to better serve his constituents, adding that his track record reflects his capacity to deliver development.

He resigned from his position as SSG on April 3, 2026, to focus on his senatorial ambition ahead of the 2027 elections.
