Abuja, Nigeria: Mr Sunday Fagbemi, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central Chairmen Forum, stated that no distractions can halt President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s transformative policies.
Fagbemi, who is also the Chairman of Kwara APC, made this known on Thursday in Abuja while speaking with reporters at the APC national secretariat.
He led the party’s state chairpersons from the North-Central for 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 said the party’s state chairmen were committed to ensuring the delivery of the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, which, according to him, 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 has 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 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 has been achieved in the areas of the economy and infrastructure development,” Fagbemi said.
He added that the party’s state chairpersons do not want to be distracted in any way ahead of the 2027 general election, but to remain focused on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Also speaking, Dr Aliyu Bello, the APC Chairman in Nassarawa State, appealed to Nigerians to continue to support the Tinubu-led administration to enable it to 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 (PDP) controlled states were happy with the Tinubu-led administration because of the increased state allocation they now received.
“The bold steps taken by our leader, President Tinubu, are 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 ongoing, and we cannot finish everything in one term.
“We trust the people who 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.
