President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the nation’s economy will bounce back in the coming months.
Tinubu also called for unity of purpose and deeper collaboration among the federal government, state governors and members of the National Assembly to achieve national development goals.
“Our economy has turned the corner. In the coming months, the economy will roar back to glory. By December, I hope we will have cause to celebrate,” Tinubu said when he received state governors and the leadership of the National Assembly, who paid him a courtesy visit in Lagos on Friday.
Tinubu’s assurance was contained in a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale, the president’s special adviser on media and publicity on Friday, April 12.
Speaking through Vice President Kashim Shettima, who was also the head of the entourage of governors and federal lawmakers, Tinubu emphasized the fact that the future of the black race rests on Nigeria.
He urged unity and collaboration among all stakeholders to achieve shared prosperity and promised a brighter future for the nation under President Tinubu’s guidance.
“Let us unite, rally around our leader, and catapult this nation to a greater pedestal. By December, I hope we will have a reason to celebrate. Let us coalesce to take the nation to a greater pedestal,” Shettima said.
Senate President Akpabio commended the state governors for emulating President Tinubu’s leadership style, characterised by listening to diverse voices and consulting widely with the people, irrespective of political affiliations.
“The governors are doing well. I can say so because I have been there before,” Senator Akpabio said.
Expressing confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, Akpabio noted that the President enjoys the broad support of Nigerians across political divides.
“As you coast home to victory for a second term, may all the governors seated here also coast home to a second term victory in their states,” Senate President Akpabio prayed.
