The All Progressives Congress in Lagos on Wednesday said Nigerians could not have asked for a better leader than President Bola Tinubu at this time in the nation’s history.

The APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, made this remark in a statement in Lagos to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary.

Mr Oladejo said, “At this defining moment, it is evident that Nigeria could not have asked for a better leader than President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is the man for the moment – courageous, visionary, and determined to pull the nation out of the deep hole dug by years of misrule, reckless borrowing, and corruption under the watch of the opposition.

“Unlike those who mortgage the future of generations yet unborn for selfish political survival, President Tinubu has displayed uncommon boldness in confronting decades of decay with reforms that are already laying a solid foundation for national renewal.”

According to him, Mr Tinubu’s decision to remove the fuel subsidy and his sweeping interventions in agriculture, food security, infrastructure, and the economy are noteworthy.

He said that the president’s commitment to free technical education, backed by stipends for Nigerian students, clearly demonstrates that Mr Tinubu thinks beyond short-term populism to long-term national prosperity.

Mr Oladejo said that history had positioned Mr Tinubu as “the reformer-in-chief” and a leader with the courage to make painful but necessary decisions.

He described Mr Tinubu as the builder, committed to a new Nigeria of opportunities, justice, and shared prosperity.

Similarly, the chairman of APC in Rivers, Tony Okocha, has congratulated Mr Tinubu and the people of Rivers.

Mr Okocha made the felicitation in a statement issued to journalists on Wednesday in Port Harcourt. Mr Okocha commended Mr Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to the nation’s progress and development. He stated that the leadership of Mr Tinubu had brought remarkable growth and transformation to the state and country.

The APC chair expressed gratitude to the president for his visionary policies and initiatives, saying that he had positively impacted the lives of the people, fostering an environment conducive to prosperity and peace.

Mr Okocha urged the people of Rivers to reaffirm their solidarity and continue working together towards a brighter future for all.

He urged them to celebrate their triumphs and acknowledge the strides made while remaining steadfast in their pursuit of excellence.

The APC chair prayed to God to prosper Rivers, Nigeria, and guide the nation on the path of progress and prosperity.
