Former Governor of Delta, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has said President Bola Tinubu is bringing stability and hope back to Nigeria.

Okowa stated this on Monday in Abuja, at a national summit organised by the Integrity Group of Nigeria, with the theme “Renew Hope Agenda through Continuity.’’

Okowa, represented by his former Special Adviser on National Assembly and Inter-Governmental Relationships, Pascal Adigwe, stressed the need for Tinubu to continue in office for the people to benefit from his policies.

He described Tinubu as an ”action president” who has accepted responsibility, unlike some past leaders.

”Tinubu’s decisions might be tough or rough, but they are yielding positive results.

“Tinubu is bringing stability. He’s bringing back hope. He’s taking the bull by the horn. He’s not referring to issues in the past or how the past was governed.

“He promised Nigeria that he will come to the saddle and take responsibility. That is what he has done,” Okowa said.


The former governor expressed his total support for Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, stating that the President has demonstrated a commitment to taking responsibility for the country.

“We have come, not with liability but assets to make what you have built better.

“We are coming with our experience, with our knowledge of the terrain. We are coming with love. We are coming with resources to better the lot,” he said.

Okowa urged support groups to begin the groundwork for Tinubu’s re-election, adding that he deserves it.


Earlier, the IGN Convener and National Chairman, Dr Oke Idawene, said Tinubu came to power prepared and was working for the prosperity of the country.

“The message of this afternoon is no other than to say never again shall we allow those who are stealing Nigeria’s prosperity to lead us again,” he said.

Idawene added that students now had access to loans, and security was improving.


He said that the progressive governors were already preparing the ground for Tinubu’s victory in 2027 based on his great performance.

Also speaking, Sen. Binta Garba said that when Tinubu came on board, things were not moving well for the country, but he was able to turn things around.

Garba also expressed hope that in 2027, the renewed hope initiative would continue, saying “continuity will make Nigeria a better country.”

Former Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, also called on Nigerians to pray for and give Tinubu the necessary support to make the country better.

Tallen said that the signs were good already, citing the All Progressives Congress victories in the recent by-elections and Nigerian girls winning laurels in sports.

The Pro Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Prof. Nora Daduut, commended the group for the national summit.

Daduut, who was the mother of the day, tasked the group members, especially women, to keep the renewed hope initiative message alive.

Okowa's defection is an indictment on Atiku's leadership and abikity to hold his ranks. It someone who was your running-mate can defect less than 2 years then something is seriously wrong somewhere

Godfullsam:
only assessment of tinubu's performance from the common man on the street can be acceptable. democracy is the government of the people by the people and for the people.

Let the people (the masses) give their own assessment of this government. All these greedy polithiefians praising and endorsing balablu for a second term are only doing it for their own selfish interest.
