Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central Chairmen Forum, Mr Sunday Fagbemi, has said that no distractions can stop President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s transformative policy.
Fagbemi, who is also the Kwara APC chairman, stated this on Thursday in Abuja while speaking with newsmen at the APC national secretariat. He led the party’s state chairmen from the North-Central on a condolence visit to its National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who recently lost his mother. Yilwatda’s mother died on Aug. 17 at the age of 83 at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.
Fagbemi said that the Tinubu administration’s agenda is hinged on the core pillars of democracy, development, demographics, and diaspora engagement. He stressed that the party’s state chairmen were committed to ensuring the delivery of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which he said was beginning to yield positive results.
“By the grace of God, we have seen some progress and development, we have seen President Tinubu weathering the storm. We cannot do it alone because Rome was not built in a day, even the opposition have attested that four years is not enough to fix the scattered and tattered ship. So he has done a lot and enough in terms of economic recovery, and we can all attest that food stuff prices are going down daily because of the diversification. We really can’t achieve much in four years like the opposition parties had confessed, but a lot had been achieved in the areas of the economy and infrastructure development,” Fagbemi said.
He added that the party’s state chairmen did not want to be distracted in any way ahead of the 2027 general election but intended to remain focused on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Also speaking, Dr Aliyu Bello, APC chairman in Nasarawa State, appealed to Nigerians to continue supporting the Tinubu-led administration to enable it do more for the country and its citizens. He added that the economy was moving in the right direction under the administration.
Bello noted that governors of even Peoples Democratic Party-controlled states were satisfied with the Tinubu-led administration because of the increased allocations they now received.
“The bold steps taken by our leader, President Tinubu is yielding results. We are good to go. Let us not be distracted, before the next election commences, everything will be fine. Nigeria is good to go for the APC because Nigeria’s project is something that is ongoing, and we cannot finish everything in one term. We trust the people that they have already given us their confidence and trust. We are not betraying that. We know we will do better than we are doing now,” Bello said.
He noted that the issue of insecurity in the North-Central was being addressed head-on by the Tinubu-led administration, adding that insecurity was not peculiar to North-Central states or Nigeria generally. “With God on our side, we will overcome the situation before long,” he stressed.
