President Tinubu receives a vote of confidence from the APC NEC, pledges to work harder for Nigeria’s prosperity, and highlights economic recovery and political stability.
ABUJA, Nigeria – February 26, 2025 – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has renewed his dedication to steering Nigeria towards economic recovery and national development, promising to redouble efforts to ensure prosperity for all citizens. Speaking at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, the President received a decisive vote of confidence from top party leaders, signaling robust support for his administration’s vision.
Vote of Confidence Sparks a Call for Hard Work
During the high-profile APC NEC meeting, President Tinubu expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and described the resounding vote as both an honor and a challenge.
“I am happy with your vote of confidence, and I accept it. The vote is a challenge to do more work. We will vigorously pursue our sovereignty in food security, investment, and development,” Tinubu stated.
His remarks came amid positive economic indicators, including a notable decline in food prices—a development warmly welcomed by Nigerians, especially with Ramadan on the horizon. The President emphasized that, even as global markets face uncertainties, Nigeria is witnessing steady growth and a gradual return to stability.
Highlighting Nigeria’s progress, President Tinubu pointed to recent economic improvements such as the country’s GDP growth of 3.84% in the last quarter of 2024 and a significant decline in inflation. These metrics underscore his administration’s focus on job creation, investment, and overall national stability. He credited the APC-led government and its members—including governors and the National Assembly—for their unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s development agenda.
“I’m grateful to all Nigerians for the electoral successes recorded from one state to another. Governors, you have embraced these changes, and I thank the leadership of our party. I also thank members of the National Assembly for expeditiously considering the budget,” he affirmed.
APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje lauded the President’s leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. Ganduje expressed confidence that the party, despite a demanding journey, has risen to meet national expectations and would continue to fulfill its electoral promises. Alongside this, leaders from the National Assembly, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House Tajudeen Abbas, committed to fast-tracking legislative support for economic and social reforms. They promised to work closely with the executive to enact policies that would bolster national growth and stability.
President Tinubu also recognized the valuable contributions of the APC National Working Committee, while urging for the resolution of internal conflicts across various states. He called for the establishment of specialized committees to address these issues and foster greater collaboration among party leaders.
As Nigeria stands on the cusp of renewed economic recovery, President Tinubu’s administration remains dedicated to driving forward reforms that will enhance the country’s global standing. The resolute vote of confidence from the APC NEC not only highlights widespread party support but also sets the stage for continued progress in economic growth, food security, and infrastructural development.
With the momentum building, all eyes are now on the coming months to see how these ambitious policies will translate into tangible benefits for the Nigerian populace, ensuring that stability and prosperity are sustained in the long run.
