No one can distract Tinubu – APC Chairman

Mr. Sunday Fagbemi, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central Chairmen Forum, has said that no distractions can stop President Bola Tinubu’s administration from implementing its transformative policies.

Fagbemi, who is also the Chairman of Kwara APC, stated this on Thursday in Abuja while speaking with newsmen at the APC National Secretariat.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that he led the party’s state chairmen from the North-Central on a condolence visit to the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who recently lost his mother.

NAN reports that Yilwatda’s mother died on Aug. 17 at the age of 83 at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.

Fagbemi said the Tinubu administration’s agenda is hinged on the core pillars of democracy, development, demographics, and diaspora engagement.

He said the party’s state chairmen were committed to ensuring the delivery of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which, according to him, is already beginning to yield positive results.

“By the grace of God, we have seen some progress and development. We have seen President Tinubu weathering the storm.

“We cannot do it alone because Rome was not built in a day. Even the opposition has attested that four years is not enough to fix the scattered and tattered ship.

“So, he has done a lot—and enough—in terms of economic recovery, and we can all attest that food prices are going down daily because of diversification.

“We really can’t achieve everything in four years, as even the opposition parties have admitted. But a lot has been achieved in the areas of the economy and infrastructure development,” Fagbemi said.

He added that the party’s state chairmen do not want to be distracted in any way ahead of the 2027 general election but are determined to remain focused on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Also speaking, Dr. Aliyu Bello, the APC Chairman in Nasarawa State, appealed to Nigerians to continue supporting the Tinubu-led administration to enable it to do more for the country and its citizens.

He added that the economy was moving in the right direction under the administration.

Bello noted that governors of even Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-controlled states were pleased with the Tinubu administration because of the increased state allocations they now receive.

“The bold steps taken by our leader, President Tinubu, are yielding results. We are good to go. Let us not be distracted. Before the next election, everything will be fine.

“Nigeria is good to go with the APC because Nigeria’s development is an ongoing project, and we cannot complete everything in one term.

“We trust the people, and they have already given us their confidence and trust. We are not betraying that. We know we will do better than we are doing now,” Bello said.

He noted that the issue of insecurity in the North-Central is being addressed head-on by the Tinubu-led administration, adding that insecurity is not peculiar to North-Central states or Nigeria in general.

“With God on our side, we will overcome the situation before long,” he stressed.
