Senate President Godswill Akpabio has told Nigerians that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration never promised instant miracles, urging citizens to embrace the government’s long-term vision amid widespread economic hardship.
Speaking on Friday at the launch of a new seven-kilometre road and bridge in the Federal Capital Territory, Akpabio said President Bola Tinubu’s administration pledged “structural, calculated and deliberate progress” – not quick fixes.
“When we came into office, we did not promise you miracles that would appear from thin air. We promised structural, calculated and deliberate progress,” the Senate President stated.
“We promised a Renewed Hope Agenda that will touch the lives of every Nigerian citizen, not just in economic statistics but in the reality of their daily struggles.”
Hardship on the Rise
Akpabio’s remarks come as millions of Nigerians grapple with skyrocketing living costs, driven largely by the removal of the fuel subsidy and other recent policy shifts introduced by the Tinubu administration.
A Message of Patience
The Senate President insisted that the government is executing its long-term strategy, suggesting that the current pain is part of the necessary process toward sustainable national development.
