Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were yesterday challenged by the president to intensify efforts in the delivering of dividends of democracy.
The economy is stabilizing but many Nigerians are yet to feel its impact, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared.
President Tinubu emphasised that governance must translate into real change for ordinary citizens.
“Nigerians are still complaining at the grassroots. To you the governors, you have to wet the grass more and lead the way in delivering progressive change to Nigerians. May God bless our democracy and give us more fertile lands”, the President declared.
He assured members of the party that the national economy, though recently battered, is now on the path to sustained growth and resilience.
“I thank all of you. Outside there, it is not easy to navigate the stormy waters of economic instability. Now that the economy is stabilised, there is no other fear for the country except upward movement and sustained growth, I can assure you,” he said.
Addressing the nation’s security situation, President Tinubu acknowledged progress but called for continued vigilance.
“Thousands of terrorists and bandits have been neutralised, and you could see that the fear is going down. But we still have to be very serious, vigilant and make sure that we put additional investment in our people, retain our people and be accommodating and be serious about security in the country,” he stated.
