“I’m humbled by your confidence in me” – Tinubu reacts to APC primaries result

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed gratitude to the leaders, members, and delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for nominating him as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

Accepting the nomination, Tinubu described the endorsement as a humbling vote of confidence from party faithful. He reflected on his journey from the 2022 primaries to his current position as incumbent president.

“I accept, with humility and profound gratitude, the nomination of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, to stand again as its Presidential candidate in the 2027 election.

“Today, I return as your incumbent President — humbled by your enduring support, encouraged by your continued confidence, and imbued with renewed passion for the tasks ahead,” Tinubu said.

The President highlighted key reforms implemented by his administration in the economy, education, power sector, infrastructure, and the oil and gas industry.

He pointed to major structural changes, including the removal of fuel subsidies, the introduction of new tax laws, and efforts to strengthen the naira and build foreign reserves amid global challenges, particularly conflicts in the Middle East.

“We moved away from wasteful fuel subsidies, unstable exchange rates, and weak infrastructure. Today, we are witnessing a turnaround,” he said.

Tinubu acknowledged the economic hardships triggered by the reforms and rising costs in parts of the country, assuring Nigerians that his administration is addressing them.

“I assure you that I take seriously the responsibility to safeguard the lives and property of every Nigerian.

“With another four years of disciplined focus and national cooperation, we will firmly place Nigeria on an irreversible path of economic expansion, industrialisation, energy security, infrastructure development, food sufficiency, and democratic consolidation.

“Together, and with the help of God Almighty, we shall build a more secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria for generations to come,” Tinubu stated.
