Senator Ahmad Lawan has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu in his ongoing reforms designed to reposition the country.

He noted: “The hardship that Nigerians endure is palpable. Skyrocketing inflation has eroded the purchasing power of the average citizen, leaving many struggling to put food on the table.
“It is, therefore, imperative that as leaders, we all put aside partisan differences and work together in the national interest.
“By collaborating with President Tinubu, political leaders and stakeholders alike can pool ideas and expertise to come up with innovative solutions to Nigeria’s economic challenges.
This may involve implementing unpopular reforms or policies, but these are essential in order to secure a better future for all Nigerians.”
The former president of the Senate reminded all stakeholders that President Tinubu needs the support of the governors and National Assembly members to bring about positive changes. “He needs the cooperation of the private sector and civil society organizations. And most importantly, he needs the patriotism of all Nigerians.
“We must all be willing to compromise and find common ground, even if it requires us to step outside of our comfort zones.
“The spirit of patriotism that once defined Nigeria must be rekindled. It is a spirit that transcends ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation. It is a spirit that puts the interests of the nation above all else.
“By working together as leaders, we can overcome the country’s challenges and set it on a path towards sustainable development, growth and prosperity.”
