President Bola Tinubu has stated that his administration has fulfilled the promise of change made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ten years ago. Speaking at a book launch and project commissioning in Imo State on Tuesday, Tinubu asserted that the country has undergone significant transformation since the APC took office.
According to Tinubu, the previous state of affairs had brought Nigeria to the brink of collapse, but his administration has successfully broken this cycle. He expressed confidence that the worst is over, citing the progress made as evidence of the fulfillment of the APC’s promise. Tinubu attributed criticism of his administration to a lack of understanding of financial engineering and progressive methodology, implying that his critics are not equipped to accurately assess the situation.
The APC’s tenure has been marked by controversy, with many Nigerians expressing disappointment and frustration over the economic and social challenges they have faced. Despite Tinubu’s claims of progress, numerous citizens believe that the past decade has been characterized by untold hardship, contradicting the administration’s narrative of positive change.
The President’s remarks come as Nigeria continues to navigate its complex economic and social landscape. With the country still facing significant development challenges, Tinubu’s assertion that the worst is over may be seen as an attempt to reassure citizens and restore confidence in his administration. As the debate over the APC’s legacy continues, it remains to be seen how Nigerians will respond to Tinubu’s claims and whether his administration will be able to build on the progress it claims to have made.
In the context of Nigeria’s ongoing development, the President’s statement highlights the need for ongoing evaluation and assessment of the country’s progress. As the administration moves forward, it will be important to consider the perspectives of all stakeholders, including those who may disagree with Tinubu’s assessment. By engaging with these diverse views, the government can work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all Nigerians.
