So the President lost weight, too?
On Sunday, May 24, the All Progressives Congress handed President Bola Tinubu its 2027 presidential ticket. He had just beaten his sole challenger by nearly 11 million votes.
Moments later, likely riding on the high, he confessed that he had lost some weight since assuming office three years ago.
However, this weight loss was not by design but by hardship. I would say “vicarious hardship.” Having thrown millions of Nigerians into labour pains, he attempted to offer a sense of solidarity.
To say he shared in the compulsory post-subsidy weight-loss programme and sleepless nights his reforms had imposed on millions.
