He said the endorsement by APC members across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory showed increasing acceptance of the administration’s efforts to reposition the country.
According to him, despite prevailing economic and social challenges, the Tinubu administration has demonstrated “courage and strategic leadership” through economic reforms, infrastructure development and institutional restructuring aimed at achieving long-term national prosperity.
“Current reforms require time, consistency, and collective national support to fully consolidate and deliver their intended benefits to the Nigerian people,” Mr Nwuche said.
