Political analyst and lawyer Belinda Ujunwa Ezeofor has come out guns blazing for President Bola Tinubu.
In a viral video that has everyone talking, Belinda, the founder of The Clarity Room, straight-up dragged Nigerians who have made it a “dangerous habit” to praise state governors when things go right but dump every national problem at Tinubu’s doorstep.
“When something good happens, we praise the governors. When something bad happens, we blame the president,” she said. “Nigeria is not Abuja alone. Nigeria has 36 states, 36 governors, and hundreds of local governments. We cannot talk about the future of Nigeria while ignoring the people who wake up every morning and govern the 36 states.”
And just when you thought she was done, sis went into full lecture mode, reminding everybody that Tinubu didn’t fall from the sky—he built his name as the governor who transformed Lagos. She name-checked the heavy hitters he mentored: ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, ex-Minister Babatunde Fashola.
“The story keeps returning to the same place,” she said, before dropping the line that has since become the internet’s new mantra: “History does not negotiate. History does not apologise. History keeps records—and the record is undefeated.”
And those records are stacked. Tinubu scrapped the fuel subsidy, doubled national revenue, launched student loans for 1.5 million students, and sparked a stock market boom. His Lagos legacy alone is a whole blueprint.
Her remarks are a direct challenge to opposition camps that have sought to frame Tinubu’s presidency as directionless.
Belinda insisted that collaboration between tiers of government is not a weakness, and that results — not rhetoric — will ultimately define the administration. “When the dust settles, and the arguments fade, only one thing remains: the record,” she concluded.
