President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that Nigerians will appreciate him soon for the tough policies his administration is currently taking.
He stated this during the South-West Assembly of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos on Saturday, October 5.
The event was attended by leaders of the APC in the southwest geopolitical zone, including governors, deputy governors, federal and state lawmakers, and former elected officials.
Speaking through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, who represented him at the occasion, President Tinubu said the reforms initiated by the current administration have exposed the party to widespread criticism. He assured the APC members that his tough decisions would set the country on the path, adding that he appreciates the support shown to his administration.
The president added that he is not thinking about the 2027 election but about improving the lives of Nigerians and bequeathing a prosperous country to the next generation.
“We acknowledge that our decisions have been tough, but they needed to be taken. The gains are at the end of the tunnel. That time will come when we will all be happy and thank our government for taking those decisions. Right now, I am not thinking of the next election but about the next generation.
This is why we are implementing reforms that are long overdue. This is the hallmark of a true leader.”
