Tinubu focused on fulfilling mandate, not distracted by coalition: FG

The federal government has reaffirmed the President Bola Tinubu administration’s commitment to its core mandate of delivering meaningful reforms and real economic growth for all citizens.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, in a statement on Tuesday, said that despite the noise by the coalition and opposition, Mr Tinubu is not distracted and remains undeterred.
“The Tinubu administration remains undeterred, focused, and committed to building a more prosperous Nigeria for all,” Mr Idris said.
According to Mr Idris, it is incontrovertible that Mr Tinubu’s administration has affirmed the right of all Nigerians to freely exercise their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of association and speech.
“However, it is also important to underscore that Tinubu’s administration will not be sidetracked by politicking or political distractions.
“The clamour in the media about the emergence of a new political ‘coalition’ is understandable, but Nigerians entrusted President Tinubu with a bold and transformative mandate, anchored in the Renewed Hope agenda.
“In just two years, this vision has already begun yielding tangible results. Crude oil theft has plummeted, investor confidence in the oil and gas sector is rebounding, inflation is easing, and the naira is stabilising.
“Also, security challenges are being confronted head-on; millions of Nigerian households, students, artisans, and small business owners are benefitting from initiatives such as student loans and access to consumer credit,” Mr Idris said.
He added that the CNG vehicle conversions, as well as improved government services and infrastructure, are glaring for Nigerians to see.
Mr Idris recalled that two weeks ago, Mr Tinubu signed four groundbreaking tax reform bills into law, marking one of the most ambitious fiscal overhauls in Nigeria’s history.
“Set to be implemented from 2026, these reforms are expected to significantly boost prosperity for households and businesses nationwide.
“Just before then, the president commissioned the single largest mechanisation drive ever undertaken in Nigeria’s history, marking the launch of the Renewed Hope Agricultural Mechanisation Programme,” the minister said.
He said that emerging coalitions and opposition political groupings do not want the sustained focus on the progress Nigeria is making, adding that the administration would not be drawn into distractions engineered by those who would prefer stagnation over reform.
Meanwhile, the new coalition, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Monday raised the alarm over a desperate and dangerous plot by elements within the Tinubu administration to undermine and destabilise the growing opposition coalition.
In a statement on Monday by the party’s interim national publicity secretary and national spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC revealed that former state chairmen and key members of the party’s state executive committees in the North-East and North-West have been summoned to a secret meeting with top officials of the federal government.
