Amid hardship triggered by the economic downturn in the country, the Senator representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Sharafadeen Alli, has urged Nigerians to remain hopeful and resilient, expressing confidence that Nigeria’s economic challenges would be surmounted in due course.
Alli made this assertion during his recent three-day tour of the Ibarapa zone, which aimed to engage with All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, youths, and community leaders. He said the tour was in response to an invitation from APC leaders in Ibarapa to foster unity within the party.
The tour also provided a platform for discussing pressing national issues with stakeholders from the three local governments in the zone: Ibarapa East, Ibarapa Central and Ibarapa North.
Addressing APC zonal leaders, Alli emphasised the importance of grassroots engagement during national economic distress.
He stated that open dialogue between political leaders and the people was essential for tackling Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges.
“We are in a difficult time as a nation, but we must not lose hope. The APC remains committed to finding solutions to these economic difficulties.
“This can only be achieved by working together and understanding the specific needs of each region. I am optimistic that there will be light at the end of the tunnel,” Alli said.
The lawmaker assured the leaders that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is working tirelessly to stabilise the economy and pledged to continue advocating for more beneficial policies.
Alli emphasised the importance of unity and collaboration, stating that the party’s success in future elections depended largely on grassroots cohesion.
He urged party members to put aside their differences and work together to better the community and the nation.
“We must remain united, especially during these challenging times. Our strength lies in our ability to work together, and division will only hinder the progress we all seek for our communities and our nation,” Alli said.
