At Midterm, Buhari Praises Tinubu

Former President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his midterm, saying that as the party and the government celebrate, the country should be reminded that leadership is a continuous journey.

Muhammadu Buhari called for steadfast support for the APC government as it marks its second year in office, explaining that reforms would achieve success gradually, not overnight.

In a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, the former president warned that necessary reforms and desired changes must not fall victim to nettlesome domestic politics.

He expressed support for the administration’s ongoing efforts to curb poverty and inflation, which he said have hit the poorest families the hardest. However, the task of reducing poverty and inflation, which is immense, mustn’t be left only for the government. “The private sector and all of us as citizens must join in all ways we can.”

He urged Nigerians to remain optimistic and stay confident about the country’s future.

“Our expectations from our governments should not be heavy,” President Buhari said in the conclusion of his message.

“I wish President Tinubu heartfelt congratulations on his two years in office. May you keep leading with wisdom and care.”
