In a resurfaced post from September 24, 2014, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, then a prominent opposition figure, criticized the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring that the entire nation had lost trust in its leadership.
Tinubu’s exact words were: “The entire nation has lost its trust in the ruling party, PDP. It is a challenging time and we have to be very careful.”

The post, which re-emerged on social media this week, has sparked widespread reactions as Nigerians draw parallels between his statement and the current state of the nation under his administration.
Many citizens argue that Tinubu’s words now reflect his own government’s failings, especially amid worsening economic hardship, insecurity, and public disillusionment.

“This statement that was made by @officialABAT in 2014 perfectly fits what we are experiencing today in this nation. It’s a shame.”
Another user, @ConcernedIgbos1, added:“Tinubu is a national disaster. The man is intentionally useless and shameless.” Similarly, @Enizzy_Eniye commented:“A failed, incompetent president! Resign now!”
Others echoed that Nigeria is “indeed facing its most trying time,” accusing the current administration of repeating the same mistakes Tinubu once condemned.
