Mukhail Abiru (APC -Lagos) has urged continued support and understanding for President Bola Tinubu as he implements bold policy decisions aimed at repositioning the nation for sustainable growth.

This was stated in his Democracy Day message on Thursday.

Mr Abiru, who represents Lagos-East,  urged  Nigerians not to lose hope but to continue to uphold the core values of democracy and seek constructive ways to consolidate the gains made over the years.

Mr Abiru, the chairman of the Senate committee on banking, insurance and other financial institutions, stated that June 12 called for reflection and appreciation for how far Nigeria had  come as a democratic nation.

“It has been 26 years since Nigeria began its journey under this current democratic dispensation. Though the path has not been without  challenges, we have every reason to celebrate the resilience, growth, and promise that our democracy represents.

“As we navigate this critical period in our nation’s history, I call for continued support and understanding for our dear President as he implements bold policy decisions aimed at repositioning our nation for sustainable growth.

“Though the sacrifices may be difficult, they are necessary, and I am glad that the rewards have started manifesting across all sectors. I pay special tribute to the resilience, courage, and determination of the Nigerian people,” he said.
