Their reforms have a guest list.
You are not on it.
Every APC “reform” comes with the same speech: sacrifice now, enjoy later. Twelve years later, look closely at who sacrificed, and who collected.
The coastal road
The Lagos–Calabar coastal highway is the biggest project of this government: about 700 kilometres, with an estimated cost of $11 to $13 billion, around ₦15 trillion.
The president’s confidante.
₦15 trillion is more than a fifth of the entire 2026 federal budget of ₦68.32 trillion. Whose reform is it?
₦15 trillion road. No open tender. The contractor listed by government as the president’s “confidante”. That is #CartelReform.
They demolished homes for the coastal road. Then they will charge you a toll to use it.
Who paid. Who collected.
You: petrol went from ₦195 to ₦1,596 a litre.
NNPC still booked ₦7.1 trillion of hidden “energy security” costs in 2024. Petrol imports jumped to ₦952 billion in one quarter of 2026.
You: still paying for imported petrol.
Nearly $3 billion in repair contracts signed from 2021. Combined output of the four state refineries in 2026: zero.
You: Band A tariff from ₦66 to ₦209.50 a unit, and a generator.
More than ₦15 trillion of public money poured into the sector since 2013. Six of eleven Discos taken over by their lenders.
Farmers: promised loans to grow our food.
₦629.04 billion unrecovered at the end of 2022, says the Auditor-General.
You: roads, clinics and schools that never come.
Lawmakers inserted 11,122 projects worth ₦6.93 trillion into the 2025 budget (BudgIT).
You: crude stolen from under your feet, 619.7 million barrels from 2009 to 2020.
A ₦48 billion-a-year surveillance contract awarded in 2022 to a company owned by a former militant leader.
15 million households promised ₦25,000 a month for three months.
By May 2025, only 37% had got a single payment (World Bank). The minister suspended over ₦585 million is now on the APC campaign council.
Subsidy “removed”: you pay ₦1,596. They still booked ₦7.1 trillion in 2024. #CartelReform
Nearly $3 billion of contracts to fix the state refineries. Output: zero. Someone collected. It was not you.
₦6.93 trillion of projects slipped into one budget by lawmakers. Your road was not one of them.
You pay the reform. They collect the rent.
- Announce a sacrifice“Remove the subsidy.” “Float the naira.” “Build the road.” Always for your good.
- Move the money to a small circleRestricted tenders, import licences, insertions, waivers and contracts to friends.
- Pass the cost to youHigher prices, higher tariffs, tolls, demolitions, and debt your children will repay.
- Buy the politicsGovernors defect. Critics are pressured. The circle stays in power.
Reform that puts you on the guest list
The NDC’s plan, “The Nigeria You Deserve”, starts where the cartel profits: stop the waste and theft, move money into farms and factories that make things here, and grow honest revenue from exports and proper collection.
Real reform is not secret. Contracts published. Open tenders. Budgets you can read. Roads priced like roads.
