Lagos Deputy Governor to Nigerians: Promote Tinubu’s achievements

The Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, has urged Nigerians to take collective responsibility in communicating the achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Hamzat said informed citizens play a vital role in building a stronger and more prosperous nation.

He spoke at the South-West Zonal Unity Walk organised by the Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN) group in Lagos on Saturday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the group is a non-governmental initiative linked to Seyi Tinubu, the President’s son.

Hamzat said: “It is important for us all to be evangelists, spreading the President’s good works within our communities.

“We must go beyond limits and inform people because many may not know what the President is doing.”

He stressed that economic stability remains central to national progress and sustainability.

He said: “The President is doing all to ensure Nigeria is financially sustainable.

“Any nation that is not financially sustainable will collapse. 

“Though it will take time, the economy is becoming stable.”

Hamzat highlighted achievements, including policy stability, improved investor confidence, and a more stable foreign exchange environment.

He noted that millions of students have benefited from the government’s loan programme, improving access to higher education.

“We are building the future of our country, and we must inform the people,” he said.

Similarly, the Lagos State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Cornelius Ojelabi, urged Nigerians to support Tinubu’s re-election bid.

Ojelabi said: “Support progress. 

“Having seen this administration’s achievements, I urge you all to support him.

“The progress cuts across sectors, and all Nigerians are benefiting.” 

In his remarks, Sesan Olowa, the Lagos State Coordinator of RTIFN, described Tinubu’s leadership as transformative in Nigeria’s contemporary history.

Olowa called for stronger backing for the President’s re-election despite prevailing economic challenges.

He said: “The President has taken tough steps to stabilise the economy and strengthen the nation.

“That is why we believe he deserves a second term to continue his work.” 

Earlier, the RTIFN Director-General, Ahmed Bala, said the group promotes accurate information and civic engagement.

Bala said: “In an era of misinformation, we are bridging gaps with verified facts and balanced insights.

“We enlighten Nigerians at home and abroad on government policies and foster a more informed and united citizenry.”

NAN reports that APC leaders, support groups, and RTIFN members from South West states attended the unity walk in large numbers.
