Tinubu’s Tough Policies Get Green Light from APC Governors: “We Stand With Him All the Way

Amid growing economic hardship and public dissatisfaction, governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner have reaffirmed their steadfast support for President Bola Tinubu’s ambitious reform agenda.

Following a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Hope Uzodimma, asserted that despite initial backlash, President Tinubu’s economic policies are gaining traction and recognition both domestically and globally.

The meeting, which brought together APC governors, key ministers, and party leadership, provided a platform to assess the administration’s progress, reinforce party cohesion, and outline strategies to advance Tinubu’s vision for Nigeria.

“At the onset of this administration, there was a loud chorus of criticism from the opposition regarding these reforms. But today, the president is being vindicated,” Uzodimma said.

He pointed out that global institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have started commending Tinubu’s economic initiatives, which were initially met with resistance at home.

Uzodimma highlighted that the unity and internal democracy within the APC are critical components of its success. “This administration is a product of our collective efforts as progressive governors. Everyone present here today is APC, regardless of their official role. We’ve gathered to celebrate recent progress and reaffirm our commitment to Nigeria’s future,” he added.

The governor also revealed that discussions at the forum included ways to support loyal party members and Nigerians who continue to stand with the party despite the economic strain.

“We owe our support to a courageous leader who is determined to reposition Nigeria for long-term growth,” he stated.

Looking ahead to President Tinubu’s second anniversary in office, Uzodimma mentioned that plans were underway to mark the milestone with a mix of celebration and reflection. “The APC National Working Committee will soon roll out the programme of events, with active participation from all quarters,” he said.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, also described the gathering as a strategic family consultation among APC stakeholders.

“This was a private meeting of APC governors, ministers, and National Working Committee members,” Idris said, noting it was a chance to evaluate the administration’s achievements so far. “We are proud of the progress made and confident there’s much more to show.”
