As Nigeria celebrates 65 years of independence, the Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended warm congratulations to the nation and its resilient citizens.
In a statement issued yesterday, the party described October 1 not only as a commemoration of sovereignty but also as a moment for sober reflection — to review the past, assess the present, and chart a clear course for the future.
The APC Lagos spokesman, Mogaji (Hon.) Seye Oladejo, noted that Nigeria could not have asked for a more fitting leader at this defining moment than President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing him as “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.”
Oladejo lauded the President’s bold reforms, particularly the removal of the fuel subsidy, interventions in agriculture, food security, infrastructure, and the economy, as well as his plan for free technical education with stipends for Nigerian students. According to him, these policies prove that Tinubu is a leader who looks beyond short-term populism to long-term national prosperity.
He drew a sharp contrast between the current administration and opposition figures whom he accused of mortgaging the country’s future and recycling corruption and prebendal politics. He warned Nigerians against “the same tired faces masquerading as redeemers ahead of 2027.”
“History has positioned President Tinubu as reformer-in-chief,” Oladejo declared. “He has demonstrated the courage to make painful but necessary decisions and the vision to build a Nigeria of opportunities, justice, and shared prosperity.”
The Lagos APC urged Nigerians to rally behind the President, resist “merchants of lies and retrogression,” and remain steadfast in supporting the APC as the country continues its march towards greatness.
“Long live Nigeria, long live President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, long live the All Progressives Congress,” the statement concluded.
