Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat has encouraged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to continue his Renewed Hope Initiatives and policies as Nigerians believe that those policies will make the country a better place for everyone to live.
Dr. Hamzat stated this today during a Special Interdenominational Prayer Day for the Nation and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu organised by the Justice Forum Association of Nigeria, held at the All Season Event Centre, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, which was attended by the leadership of both Muslim and Christian faithful.
According to the Deputy Governor, his message to President Tinubu was to focus on the Renewed Hope Agenda he set for the nation, stating that with the support of all Nigerians, irrespective of their religious and political affiliations. “My message for him is to be focused. He shouldn’t be weary. We believe in his policies and we know that at the end of it, Nigeria will be a better country,” he said
While speaking on President Tinubu’s capacity to lead the country to the desired haven, Hamzat extolled his intelligence, his experience and a man of prestige and economic wizardry, who is capable of raising the economic status of the country to how it ought to be. “We believe in his policies and intelligence,” he said.
Speaking on the foundation of the Justice Forum as the basis of political history in Lagos, Dr. Hamzat noted history is important in the affairs of the country. He said that everything in life must have a history to aid a better understanding of the foundational basis of the things and as a reference for generations yet unborn.

Hamzat therefore prayed that God’s hand should guide and protect the President adding that “Nigerians are praying for him, Lagosians are praying for him and across the country. Lagos people are behind him and other Nigerians are behind him so that he can be able to achieve for Nigeria what he wants to do.”
