The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended President Bola Tinubu’s outstanding leadership, characterized by compassion, focus, and decisiveness, which have been instrumental in shaping Nigeria’s path towards stability, growth, and prosperity.
On Friday, APC Spokesman Mogaji Seye Oladejo issued a statement in Lagos, highlighting that President Tinubu’s leadership style has been distinguished by his courage to act, his empathy for the people, and his clear vision for the future, enabling him to navigate effectively the complex economic and security challenges facing our nation.
He pointed out that President Tinubu has demonstrated firm resolve since assuming office to address and overcome Nigeria’s long-standing development challenges.
Oladejo observed that the President’s bold and decisive removal of the fuel subsidy, an action many of his predecessors did not dare to take, was not a gamble but a historic reform, aimed at freeing the nation from a decades-long fiscal burden.
He pointed out that monetary and fiscal reforms complemented this effort, creating the foundation for a stronger, more sustainable economy.
Oladejo noted: “What sets President Tinubu apart, however, is not only his decisiveness but also his compassion.
“Cognisant of the impact of subsidy removal, he immediately approved palliatives, wage awards for workers, conditional cash transfers for the most vulnerable, and funding for mass transit schemes to reduce transport costs.
“His empathy was further reflected in his swift interventions during natural disasters such as floods and fire outbreaks, ensuring relief and rehabilitation packages reached affected Nigerians without delay.”
He emphasized that the President’s focus was most evident in the Renewed Hope Agenda, a detailed blueprint prioritizing food security, economic diversification, infrastructure renewal, energy reforms, human capital development, and national security.
According to him, in agriculture, the expansion of dry-season farming, fertilizer support, and mechanization is aimed at boosting food supply and curbing inflation.
He stated that in the energy sector, the President’s reforms are encouraging investment in renewable sources, while expanding generation and distribution to deliver reliable electricity.
In infrastructure, Oladejo said that Tinubu had fulfilled his promise to Nigerians by rolling out transformative projects.
He opined: “The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, one of Africa’s most ambitious projects, is not just a Lagos story but a national corridor connecting states, boosting trade, tourism, and investment.
“Similarly, the Lagos-Calabar rail line and renewed work on the Kano-Kaduna-Abuja rail reflect his determination to knit Nigeria together seamlessly.
“Lagos residents have also witnessed the expansion of deep-sea port operations, road network upgrades, and investments in the technology and creative industries – developments that mirror similar efforts across the country.”
On national security, Oladejo said that the President had acted decisively by overhauling the armed forces’ leadership, investing in modern equipment, and redefining their mission.
He added that Tinubu had restored confidence in the capacity of the state.
According to him, insurgents, kidnappers, and bandits are increasingly on the defensive as security agencies record significant progress in reclaiming territories and protecting lives.
On foreign policy, Oladejo said that the President had repositioned Nigeria as a global economic and diplomatic player.
“President Tinubu has attracted billions in foreign direct investments across energy, mining, agriculture, and digital innovation.
“His firm yet balanced leadership of ECOWAS during a turbulent period reaffirmed Nigeria’s role as the anchor of West African stability,” he said.
Oladejo said that the State APC remained proud of the President’s leadership and achievements, laying the foundation for lasting prosperity.
“President Tinubu is indeed compassionate, focused, and decisive – a leader for the moment and for the future,” he said.
