‘Tinubu’s Best Yet To Come’ – Akpabio Tells Nigerians

By Paul Joseph

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said that Nigerians are yet to fully experience the impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, despite what he described as significant progress already made.

Akpabio made the remarks during the 8th National Convention of the All Progressives Congress held in Abuja, where he commended the President’s leadership and reform agenda.

According to him, while many individuals may possess sight, only a few have the vision required to transform a nation—adding that Tinubu embodies both qualities and is actively applying them to governance.

He pointed to several major policy decisions and reforms introduced by the administration, including the removal of fuel subsidy, unification of the foreign exchange system, the introduction of student loan schemes, and ongoing infrastructure projects such as rail expansion and the Niger Delta coastal road.

Akpabio also assured the President of continued support from the National Assembly, emphasizing that close collaboration between the executive and legislative arms remains essential to achieving the goals of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

In his remarks, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas acknowledged that the government’s policies have brought short-term hardship but described them as necessary steps to stabilise and rebuild the economy.

He noted that the current administration inherited significant economic challenges, arguing that avoiding tough decisions would only deepen the country’s long-term problems.

Abbas further called for sustained political stability and continuity in leadership, urging support for Tinubu beyond his current term to allow ongoing reforms to be fully implemented. He also warned against frequent turnover in the National Assembly, stating that it weakens governance and erodes institutional memory.

Both leaders expressed optimism that the administration’s reforms, combined with political alignment across government institutions, would ultimately yield lasting benefits for Nigerians.
