President Bola Tinubu’s administration is defined by “firm commitment to economic reform, security, and the welfare of all Nigerians”, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum has said.

The governors, in a statement, described the president’s 74th year not just as a milestone but as a legacy of dedication, resilience, and impact.

The NGF chairman, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, in a statement on Sunday, lauded the president’s vision and his dedication.

Mr AbdulRazaq noted that the milestone offered a fitting moment to celebrate the president’s resolve in navigating the nation’s challenges.

He expressed the forum’s appreciation for the president’s collaborative approach to governance, specifically highlighting his engagement with state governments on matters of national importance.

The NGF credited the president’s steadfast support for the principles of federalism and intergovernmental cooperation as a primary source of strength for the 36 states.

Reaffirming their partnership with the president, the governors pledged their continued support in protecting and preserving the welfare and security of all citizens.

“The forum acknowledges with deep appreciation the constructive and collaborative spirit with which you continue to engage state governments on matters of shared national importance. Your steadfast support for the principles of federalism and intergovernmental cooperation remains an enduring source of strength to us all.

“The forum remains firmly committed to supporting the president to protect and preserve the welfare and security of all Nigerians, including the freedom and ability to freely choose and venerate their leaders without interference.

“On this special day, we in the forum celebrate not just an age but a legacy of dedication, resilience and impact. As you mark this special milestone, we wish you good health, renewed vigour, and the wisdom to lead our great nation to greater heights,” he said.
