The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says President Bola Tinubu’s compassion, focus, and decisiveness have continued to shape Nigeria’s journey towards stability, growth, and prosperity.

The Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said in a statement on Friday that since Mr Tinubu’s very first day in office, he has demonstrated the will to confront long-standing obstacles crippling Nigeria’s development.

“At a time when our nation is navigating complex economic and security challenges, President Tinubu has shown that he possesses the courage to act, the empathy to care, and the vision to deliver,” Mr Oladejo said.

He said the president’s bold and decisive removal of the fuel subsidy—an action many of his predecessors dared not take—was not a gamble but a historic reform to free Nigeria from a decades-long fiscal burden.

Mr Oladejo said this was complemented by monetary and fiscal reforms that laid the foundation for a stronger and more sustainable economy.

“What sets President Tinubu apart, however, is not only his decisiveness but also his compassion,” said Mr Oladejo, who noted the approved palliative wage awards for workers and conditional cash transfer implemented by the president.

“His empathy was further reflected in his swift interventions during natural disasters such as floods and fire outbreaks, ensuring relief and rehabilitation packages reached affected Nigerians without delays,” he stated.

He said the president’s focus was most evident in the Renewed Hope Agenda, prioritising food security, economic diversification, infrastructure renewal, energy reforms, human capital development, and national security.

According to him, in agriculture, dry-season farming, fertiliser support, and mechanisation are being expanded to boost food supply and curb inflation.

He said that in the energy sector, the president’s reforms were encouraging investment in renewable sources while expanding generation and distribution to deliver reliable electricity.

In infrastructure, Mr Oladejo said Mr Tinubu had kept faith with Nigerians by rolling out transformative projects, citing the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the Lagos-Calabar rail line, and renewed work on the Kano-Kaduna-Abuja rail.”

On national security, Mr Oladejo said the president had acted decisively by overhauling the armed forces’ leadership, investing in modern equipment, and redefining their mission.

According to him, insurgents, kidnappers, and bandits are increasingly on the defensive as security agencies record significant progress in reclaiming territories and protecting lives.

On foreign policy, Mr Oladejo said the president had repositioned Nigeria as a global economic and diplomatic player.

“President Tinubu has attracted billions in foreign direct investments across energy, mining, agriculture, and digital innovation.

“His firm yet balanced leadership of ECOWAS during a turbulent period reaffirmed Nigeria’s role as the anchor of West African stability,” he said.
