Tinubu back, says Sen. Jibrin – Vanguard “/>
President Bola Tinubu has received resounding support from influential leaders and groups across Nigeria for the bold steps he has taken in steering the nation towards a more stable and prosperous future.
The Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Muhammad Sa’ ad Abubakar III, and prominent leaders from the Niger Delta region have expressed their admiration for the president’ s decisions, particularly his move to wean the country off fuel subsidies.
The Sultan of Sokoto, speaking in Sokoto during Vice President Kashim Shettima’ s Sallah homage, praised President Tinubu’ s willingness to make difficult decisions in the face of current hardships. Sultan Abubakar emphasized that the long- term gains for Nigerians resulting from the administration’ s decisions far outweigh the present challenges. He pledged unwavering support from the Sultanate for the government’ s policies and programs, vowing to maintain peace and stability in the country.
Vice President Shettima, while seeking the support of Northwest leaders for the Tinubu administration, highlighted the president’ s awareness of the challenges faced by the people, particularly the insecurity in the Northwest region.
He commended Tinubu’ s decisive measures to address the situation and called on political leaders to unite in confronting common challenges of insecurity, poverty, and underdevelopment.
In response to the VP’ s visit, Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto expressed gratitude and described it as a manifestation of deep love for Sokoto State and its people. The governor assured Vice President Shettima of the state’ s support for the success of the Tinubu administration, THE NATION reports.
Meanwhile, leaders from the Niger Delta region have also thrown their weight behind President Tinubu’ s decision to remove fuel subsidies. They called on the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to reconsider their stance on the subsidy withdrawal. These leaders argue that any action against fuel subsidy removal would inadvertently support the fraudulent practices associated with the subsidy and harm the masses.
The support from influential figures across different regions of Nigeria highlights the growing recognition of President Tinubu’ s commitment to making tough choices for the greater good of the nation. The removal of fuel subsidies has been a contentious issue, with concerns over its impact on the masses and the economy. However, the Sultan and the Niger Delta leaders believe that looking beyond short- term difficulties and embracing necessary reforms will lead to a brighter future for the country.
President Tinubu’ s administration appears determined to prioritize development and peace, recognizing the importance of unity in achieving progress. The government’ s commitment to supporting traditional institutions also underscores the acknowledgment of their role in the nation’ s progress.
While there might be short- term challenges resulting from the subsidy removal, the overall consensus among these influential leaders is that embracing these tough decisions will pave the way for a more economically sustainable and prosperous Nigeria in the long run.
