The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the light at the end of Nigeria’s tunnel is within sight.
The APC Spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, made this remark following the 65th Independence Anniversary broadcast by President Bola Tinubu earlier on Wednesday
He congratulated Tinubu on his inspiring Independence speech.
According to him, the President’s speech is both a chronicle of hard-won achievements and a message of renewed hope for a nation on the cusp of greatness.
“In less than three years of his administration, President Tinubu has displayed the uncommon courage and visionary leadership required to rebuild our nation from decades of waste, corruption, and inertia.
“His Independence Day broadcast highlighted a catalogue of verifiable achievements which testify to his relentless pursuit of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“His catalogue of achievements is proof that sacrifices are not in vain and that the light at the end of the tunnel is within sight,” he said.
He highlighted the President’s sound economic reforms that removed the “corrupt fuel subsidy” and ended multiple foreign exchange regimes, freeing trillions of naira to fund education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social programmes.
“The eecord-breaking non-oil revenue performance, with over N20 trillion realised by August 2025 is a bold step toward self-sufficiency and diversification of the economy,” he said.
He commended the stabilisation of the Naira and restoration of fiscal health,and reduction of debt service-to-revenue ratio by half.
According to him, Nigeria’s reserves have been strengthened, and Nigeria is now consistently recording trade surpluses.
“Historic rebound in oil and gas production with new investments and domestic refining for the first time in four decades, alongside Nigeria’s emergence as Africa’s leading aviation fuel exporter is noteworthy.
“Infrastructure revolution, with massive road, rail, port, and housing projects, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Kaduna-Kano rail line, Kano-Katsina-Maradi project, and Sokoto-Badagry Highway are all milestones.
“Improved security architecture, restoring peace to previously troubled regions, degrading terrorist networks, and rebuilding national confidence are not hidden to anyone,” he added.
He also highlighted Tinubu’s social investment programmes, youth empowerment initiatives, agricultural revival, with food security initiatives, subsidies, and infrastructural support to farmers to ensure affordable food supply and long-term sustainability.
“Global recognition of Nigeria’s progress, as sovereign rating agencies upgrade the nation’s outlook, capital markets surge to historic levels, and investor confidence returns,” he said.
According to him, President Tinubu’s message of hope, captured in the declaration that “the worst is over” and that “yesterday’s pains are giving way to relief”, speaks directly to the resilience of Nigerians.
He said that the party remained proud to stand firmly behind the President’s reformist zeal, clarity of vision, and determination to secure a future.
Oladejo said that the future remained that” when the true measure of success is seen in food on every table, power in every home, quality education for children, and security in every community’.
