An All Progressives Congress chieftain and youths leader, Comrade Isaac Balami has advised Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu as hope is on the way.
Balami who hailed the President on the milestone he has attained in two years in office acknowledged that it’s not yet “uhuru” because the country had been left in the hands of incompetent leaders for several years, stating that rebuilding
process takes a longer time.
The APC chieftain also hailed Borno state Governor, Babangana Zulum for standing tall to confront dare-devil criminal elements making attempts to take over Borno state.
He said president Tinubu and Governor Zulum shared a similar vision as they are both fighting to restore a troubling nation and an ailing state.
In a statement he personally signed, the former Obi/Datti National Deputy Campaign Manager said in two years, Tinubu had surmounted daunting challenges, expressing hope that Nigerians will soon heave the sigh of relief in no long time.
Similarly, he said Zulum had in the face of insecurity worked assiduously to achieve a better Borno, saying that any governor who goes with the military to confront the enemies is clearly selfless and understands the concept of modern leadership.
Going back to Tinubu’s achievement, Balami said the president was clearly intentional about his leadership role and had a well thought-out road-map before assuming office, commending some of the administration’s reforms.
On insecurity, Balami said, ” I urge Mr President not to be discouraged. While I acknowledge a recent rise in insecurity as the electioneering campaigns are about to start, it will be rash to forget so easily the good effort of Mr President in just one year in office that returned many Borno farmers back to their farms.
Talking on Tinubu’s inclusive policy, he said, “The youths constituency which I represent has enjoyed massive support from Mr President and has been duly represented. But like Oliver Twist, we will continue to ask for more representations.”
Hailing President Tinubu’s agriculture policy, Mr Balami said inflation recently dropped by 8 percent, crashing the prices of tomatoes, maize, rice and other food items.
Balami further commended Tinubu’s tax reforms, revival of the mining industry and the autonomy granted the nation’s local governments.
Assuring the president of continuous support by energetic youths from the middle belt, the former aircraft pilots and engineers President said the current government has adhered to the doctrine of inclusivity than any government, stating that “middle beltans are found in this government more than any government in the past, hence 2027 is a payback year.
“While we congratulate you for the milestones attained already, we plead that you continue on the current path of economic recovery,” Balami said.
“And like BAT, Zulum has amid frustration by Boko Haram, ISWAP and others renewed the face of Borno state with developmental projects.
“His initiative of the Disarmament, Demobilisation, Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, and Reintegration programmes has done the state well. No wonder farmers comfortably returned to farm, until now that we started to notice pockets of attacks.”
Balami also hailed Zulum’s achievements in the area of healthcare, urging him to continue on the part of restoration until Borno becomes a shinning light to others.
“No wonder you have bagged several awards as best governors in different years. No one would think that amid this insecurity challenges, you would be able to pay attention to economic and developmental issues,” he said, calling on all Borno sons and daughters to rally behind the governor to surmount insecurity.
Balami further charged both the president and the governor to work collectively in ensuring that insurgents are degraded completely.
“While we acknowledge your effort, we charge you to ensure all Nigerians reap the benefit of your investments.
“We believe they will be made to see the reason you chose to remove subsidy for their sake and for the sake of the unborn generation if you dwell more on people-friendly policies.
“We pray God to grant you the wisdom to do all that is needed to push through this phase to the brighter side of life where all Nigerians will celebrate your achievements and your legacy.”
