President Bola Tinubu has expressed confidence in the ability of the All Progressives Congress leadership to build the nation and significantly contribute to Africa’s growth.

Mr Tinubu said this on Tuesday while addressing the APC Caucus meeting at the State House in Abuja.

He reaffirmed his commitment to the ‘Renewed Hope Manifesto’ of the APC.

“We can steer the future of this country and make a difference. I like what is happening around the world. It is teaching a lesson that we, particularly Nigeria is a great African country that can build and help Africa to grow,” Mr Tinubu said.

He underscored the importance of achieving food sovereignty and not just food security to better reposition the country as a nation capable of repositioning the continent.

“I am a very happy man; the sunny side of this country is on the horizon. Things are getting better, the days of gloom are gone. We are looking at the brighter and the sunny side of our country and our people,” added Mr Tinubu.

He reassured the party members of his resolve to deliver despite criticisms against him.

Mr Tinubu noted the challenges confronting Nigerians regarding some of the policies introduced by his administration.

Mr Tinubu commended APC chairman Abdullahi Ganduje for the successes recorded in various elections.
