President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Wednesday, February 26, 2025, expressed his determination to work harder for the greater good of Nigeria, as he assured the citizenry the Nigerian economy remains on the path of recovery.

Tinubu stated this at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, in Abuja, FCT, where he received a vote of confidence for his administration’s good performance.

The APC National Executive Council meeting took place a day after the party’s caucus meeting night Tuesday, February 25.

The President also said the commendation from his party’s highest decision-making organ was a call for more hard work.

He promised not to fail the party faithful.

Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, stated President Tinubu said: “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.”

He noted: “I am happy with food prices coming down, especially as Ramadan approaches. The Sun is high, and the sky is bright outside.

“While the rest of the world unravels, we see growth in Nigeria.

“We are seeing a gradual return to stability. We are seeing improvements. I thank you, governors.”

President Tinubu also thanked Nigerians for their continued belief and trust in the leadership of the AllProgressives Congress.

He pledged to continue working assiduously with other arms of government to ensure the greater good for Nigerians and commended APC Governors and Executives for their continued and unwavering commitment.

“I’m grateful to all Nigerians for the electoral successes recorded from one state to the other.

“Governors, you have embraced these changes, and I thank the leadership of our party” stated he.

The President further said: “I also thank members of the National Assembly for expeditiously considering the budget.

“We can only build the party on a progressive platform to deliver good service to Nigerians.”

Tinubu as well commended the party’s National Working Committee for its performance and called for measures to end some of the crises in the states.

He asserted: “The National Working Committee is doing a very good job; I am pleased with them.

“However, there are a few conflicts in the various states. Let’s set up committees to look into the lingering problems in the states and appeal to these party leaders in various states to please be calm and be collaborative.”

Speaking at the APC NEC meeting, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, National Chairman of APC, thanked members for their steadfastness in the face of challenges and assured them that the party would continue to deliver on its electoral promises.

Ganduje stated: “Though the journey has been very challenging for us as a ruling party, given the big task we have at hand and the expectations from Nigerians, “We can sufficiently submit that we have collectively risen to the occasion and challenges.”

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, reiterated the National Assembly’s commitment to supporting President Tinubu in lifting Nigeria from its economic and developmental woes.

Akpabio said: “The Senate will expeditiously pass bills that would enhance our national development, improve the economy and redirect our national pathway.”

Likewise, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, commended President Tinubu for his vision and courage in making unpopular but essential decisions.

The Speaker said the decisions were pivotal for Nigeria’s developmental efforts.

Earlier at the Caucus meeting of the APC, party leaders also praised President Tinubu’s administration for turning the economy around, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growing by 3.84 percent in the fourth quarter (Q4) 2024 and inflation going downhill.
