Tinubu taking tough decisions for Nigeria’s long-term stability – Gbajabiamila
The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Tuesday said the sweeping reforms being implemented by President Bola Tinubu are rooted in a deliberate effort to secure Nigeria’s long-term stability, rather than short-term political gains.
Speaking at the State House while receiving leaders of Working People United (WOPU), Gbajabiamila stressed that the administration’s policy choices reflect a willingness to confront difficult realities in order to reposition the country’s economy and governance structures.
He explained that the reforms, though challenging for many Nigerians in the immediate term, are necessary corrections to long-standing structural issues that had been left unresolved for years.
According to him, true leadership requires taking decisions that may not be immediately popular but are ultimately beneficial to the nation’s future.
He said President Tinubu has demonstrated that resolve by embarking on policies that previous administrations had avoided, noting that such decisions are already reshaping national discourse.
Gbajabiamila observed that conversations around the country, including among critics, have largely shifted to how the reforms are being implemented rather than whether they are needed.
The Chief of Staff also welcomed the approach adopted by WOPU, describing it as a constructive engagement model that prioritises collaboration over confrontation.
In his remarks, the Coordinator-General of WOPU, Comrade Williams Akporeha, said the organisation represents a broad spectrum of Nigerian workers and stakeholders committed to national progress.
