President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to fulfilling promises made to Nigerians, declaring that he would never betray their trust.

Mr Tinubu spoke on Thursday through Senate President Godswill Akpabio during the inauguration of executives of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, established to promote the Renewed Hope agenda across the country.

He insisted that reforms implemented during the past three years were already positioning Nigeria for sustained economic growth and would eventually deliver lasting national prosperity.

The president expressed confidence that brighter prospects awaited citizens as policies continued to yield positive results.

“My administration remains committed to building a stronger nation in spite of the difficult decisions taken since assuming office,” he said.

Mr Tinubu acknowledged that ongoing reforms had demanded sacrifices from citizens but maintained that such measures remained necessary to secure sustainable economic growth and guarantee long-term prosperity for future generations across Nigeria.

“Patriotism and resilience remain essential qualities required to overcome temporary hardships while building a stronger, prosperous, and united Nigeria.

“Reforms are designed to establish enduring foundations for future generations, and meaningful national progress rarely emerges without sacrifice, resilience, and commitment to long-term developmental objectives and stability,” he added.

The president, who addressed supporters, political leaders, traditional rulers, civil society organisations, and stakeholders, expressed delight at citizens’ voluntary participation in activities that support national development.

He described their commitment as evidence of growing interest in securing Nigeria’s future through collective responsibility and patriotism.

“I urge members of the movement to sustain grassroots mobilisation by taking government messages directly to communities, as continuous engagement remains essential for strengthening democracy and public participation nationwide,” he said.

According to Mr Tinubu, national electoral victories begin with meaningful engagement at the household level.

He urged supporters to canvass respectfully while promoting democratic values and encouraging citizens’ participation across communities nationwide.

The president cautioned against allowing political differences to undermine national unity, insisting that Nigeria’s collective aspirations should always take precedence over partisan interests, electoral contests, or the ambitions of individual officeholders.
