… cites key reforms, achievements

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has said that the continuity of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration beyond 2027 is crucial to consolidating the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that the President’s achievements position him strongly for a second term.

Obasa made the remarks on Saturday during an interfaith prayer session held in Ikeja to commemorate President Tinubu’s 74th birthday. The event was organised by the Mandate Movement (TMM).

Describing Tinubu as a pragmatic and visionary leader, Obasa said his administration’s policies and reforms are already reshaping Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape.

He urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda, highlighting key initiatives such as the removal of fuel subsidy, which he said has increased revenues for states, and the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFund), which he described as a “game-changer” for access to higher education.

The Speaker also cited the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as one of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, with the potential to boost economic growth and tourism.

He commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her Renewed Hope Initiative, noting its impact through food distribution, agricultural support for women, economic empowerment programmes, and digital learning centres.

In his remarks, former Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, praised Tinubu’s leadership and legacy, urging Nigerians to rally behind the President’s re-election bid.

He added that the President has stabilised the country and its economy, expressing confidence that Nigeria will continue to prosper under his administration.

In his Speech, Mr Tayo Ayinde, the Chief of Staff to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, lauded Tinubu for his efforts in repositioning the economy, saying that all Nigerians should support the President to continue beyond 2027.

In their separate remarks, the Chairman House Committee on Information and Strategy, Hon. Stephen Ogundipe (Oshodi/Isolo 1), and the Chairman, Planning Committee, Hon.Lanre Ogunyemi, called on Nigerians to celebrate Tinubu’s achievements, praying that God will continue to give the President sound health.
