President Bola Tinubu is not losing focus due to the recent emergence of a new opposition alliance under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the Federal Government has noted.
In a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said that the president is fully committed to his duties and is steadily working to implement reforms aimed at improving the nation’s economy and the lives of Nigerians.
According to Idris, while the rise of a new political front has attracted attention in the media, it does not shake the confidence or direction of Tinubu’s administration.
“The clamour in the media about the emergence of a new political ‘coalition’ is understandable, but Nigerians entrusted President Tinubu with a bold and transformative mandate, anchored in the Renewed Hope agenda,” the statement said.
“In just two years, this vision has already begun yielding tangible results. Crude oil theft has plummeted, investor confidence in the oil and gas sector is rebounding, inflation is easing, the Naira is stabilizing, security challenges are being confronted head-on, and millions of Nigerians—households, students, artisans, small business owners—are benefitting from initiatives such as student loans, access to consumer credit, CNG vehicle conversions, and improved government services and infrastructure.
“Two weeks ago, the President signed four groundbreaking tax reform bills into law, marking one of the most ambitious fiscal overhauls in Nigeria’s history. Set to be implemented from 2026, these reforms are expected to significantly boost prosperity for households and businesses nationwide.
“Just before then, the President commissioned the single largest mechanisation drive ever undertaken in Nigeria’s history—marking the launch of the Renewed Hope Agricultural Mechanisation Programme. This is just one of several high-impact agricultural mechanisation programs being undertaken to guarantee food security.
“Not surprisingly, emerging coalitions and opposition political groupings do not want a sustained focus on the progress Nigeria is making. The administration however refuses to be drawn into distractions engineered by those who would prefer stagnation over reform.
“The Tinubu administration remains undeterred, focused, and committed to building a more prosperous Nigeria for all.”
