The All Progressives Congress says Nigerians should not doubt President Bola Tinubu’s genuine intentions for a safer, united and prosperous country.

The party’s chairman in Lagos, Cornelius Ojelabi, said this at the third edition of the party’s Christmas Carol and Nine Lessons on Sunday evening.

Mr Ojelabi, who urged Nigerians to reaffirm their unbreakable spirit in the face of challenges, said the President’s intentions remained genuine and beyond doubt.

“We acknowledge with gratitude and commend the good intentions of President Bola Tinubu to make Nigeria a safer and more prosperous place for everyone to live without fear and intimidation….His intentions truly inspire us to redouble our efforts for Lagos and the nation,” Mr Ojelabi said.

He added that the Lagos APC leadership, led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was committed to protecting lives and property. He urged citizens to play their part in making the country great and reclaiming its position in the comity of nations.

“Lagos is safe and will continue to be safe, a safe haven for all residents, visitors and tourists,” Ojelabi said.

Mr Sanwo-Olu noted that the state had enjoyed peace for the past 25 years, urging residents to prioritise peace above all.

“APC stands as a shining star of progress. We must use this season to share love among ourselves. For us in Lagos and the APC, peace has always been our cornerstone, irrespective of political affiliations,” stated the governor. “Let us use the Christmas season to strengthen our unity.”

Expressing gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his commitment to peace and unity, Mr Sanwo-Olu called on Nigerians to renew their commitment to peaceful coexistence.
