The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, has reaffirmed his unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, at the Lagos State All Progressives Congress, APC, Stakeholders Forum 2025 held on Tuesday in Lagos, describing President Tinubu’s leadership as courageous, visionary, and transformative.
Abiru lauded President Tinubu’s bold reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidy, unification of the Foreign Exchange market, and redirection of resources to key sectors, which according to him have restored economic stability and fiscal discipline.
“Two years ago, Nigerians entrusted him with the leadership of our nation at one of the most difficult moments in our modern history. The economy was distressed, public confidence shaken, and our national direction uncertain. Yet, true to his courage and visionary spirit, President Tinubu chose the harder but more honourable path: the path of reform, restructuring, and renewal,” Abiru said.
He highlighted key achievements such as the NELFUND educational loans for over 510,000 students, CrediCorp loans worth ₦30 billion to 150,000 Nigerians, the new ₦70,000 minimum wage, and Project Bridge, a 90,000km fibre optic network powering digital transformation.
Abiru applauded the synergy between the National Assembly and the Executive, noting that landmark laws, including the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025, Student Loan Act, Electricity Act Amendment, Data Protection Act, and Police Reform Bill, Security Agency Acts, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (Amendment) Bill and Startup Act implementation framework, both aimed at deepening innovation, protecting local content, and nurturing tech ecosystem; and Revenue Administration Harmonisation Bill, have strengthened the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
“These legislative interventions are the backbone of the President’s reforms, providing legal and institutional stability,” he added.
Speaking further, Abiru, who is the Chairman of the Southern Senators’ Forum, reaffirmed Lagos’ historic role in progressive governance, recalling how President Tinubu’s era as Lagos governor set the foundation for fiscal innovation and inclusive growth, which is now replicated nationwide.
“On behalf of the good people of Lagos East Senatorial District and in concert with the collective will of our great party, I proudly and unequivocally endorse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027”, Abiru declared.
Senator Abiru, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, concluded by urging continued collective support for the President’s Renewed Hope agenda, describing it as “a legacy of visionary leadership, courageous reform, and a united Nigeria.”
