Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians to remain patient with President Bola Tinubu’s reforms, saying the country is moving in the right direction.

Mr Akpabio, who believes Mr Tinubu’s reforms are beginning to yield positive results, appealed to Nigerians to endure the pains of the reforms for a little while in the interest of the children and future generations.

“In line with the theme of this year’s celebration, ‘All hands are on deck for a greater Nigeria,’ I urge you to continue to bear the temporary discomfort of the ongoing reforms.

“We are not unaware of the pains occasioned by the reforms, but I want to assure you, very soon, this will be a thing of the past because the benefits of the reforms are beginning to manifest positively,” Mr Akpabio said.

The Senate president made the appeal in a congratulatory message to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.

Mr Akpabio said, ”At 65, we are mature and should be working for the unity of the nation and prosperity of our people.

“We salute your resilience, patience, and endurance in the last two years. We deeply appreciate your support and understanding.”

He congratulated Mr Tinubu for demonstrating a commitment to the peace and development of our dear country, as well as the National Assembly for their steadfastness in legislative engagements.

“I must tell you that Nigeria is not finished. Do not buy into the mischievous narrative that Nigeria is irredeemable.

“We are on the right pedestal, and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration is reshaping the country; we are growing and making progress,” Mr Akpabio said.

Mr Akpabio said Nigeria will become better and reach its promised land if all citizens join hands to support Mr Tinubu’s reforms.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

We ONLY need visionary leaders...

We have seen a lot of negative consequences from bad leadership.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

AMINDA:
At this point, it's beginning to look like mockery. Tinubu said they have delivered on their promises while Akpabio is preaching endurance of pains and suffering.
