The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the administration of President Bola Tinubu for the economic reforms he has embarked upon which have brought discomfort to many.
Ganduje said this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, on the occasion of this year’s Christmas celebration.
On assumption of office as the President in 2023, the President announced two critical policies of petrol subsidy removal and unification of the exchange rate. These policies have since drove inflation in the country to the roof, causing hardship to many Nigerians who now struggle to feed well.
However, the former Kano State governor while calling for more patience in his message, noted that results of Tinubu’s reforms are already beginning to be seen.
He assured that by next year’s Christmas the economy would have stabilized better, noting that the government’s effort in securing the country is yielding results as cases of banditry and kidnapping have significantly reduced.
Ganduje added that as the nation navigates its developmental challenges, the APC leadership remains committed to promoting policies and programs that will bring about sustainable growth, security, and improved welfare for all citizens.
The National Chairman urged all Nigerians to use this festive period to pray for the continued peace, stability, and prosperity of the country, as well as for the success of our leaders at all levels of government.
He called on all Nigerians, irrespective of faith or background, to embrace the spirit of togetherness and mutual respect, which are essential for national cohesion.
He further emphasized the need for selflessness, generosity, and care for the less privileged, especially during this season of giving.
Let’s give Mr. President the benefit of doubt.
