President Bola Tinubu on Saturday reaffirmed his commitment to the development of the country for future generations.
Tinubu, who spoke at the All Progressives Congress (APC) South-West Zone Assembly held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, said his focus was not on the 2027 elections but on how to make Nigeria greater for the incoming generations.
The event was hosted by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Represented at the forum by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, the president expressed concern over the hardship in the country but assured that Nigeria would get better.
Tinubu said that he took some tough decisions for the good of the country.
He said: “For every moment in a country, a particular leader is produced for that time. This is the time to produce a courageous leader.
“The challenges of our country are diverse and immense.
“When a man has a strong conviction of what he is doing, he pursues it.”
The president said he loved Nigerians and would continue to listen to them and do what would be good for them.
In his address, Sanwo-Olu urged the party leaders and members to give adequate support to the Tinubu administration.
He said: “We have come as one big family to explore more ways to work together.
“It is to share ideas and agree on strategies to take South West to greater heights.
“We are blessed with assets and more positioned to move the country forward.
“We should strive to forge ahead.”
The former Ekiti State governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, urged South-West APC to forge a united front.
“I am convinced that APC will remain strong to accomplish the business of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President.
“APC remains the only successful party that emerged from the cohesiveness of four different political parties. That is history and we must continue to protect what makes us thick.
“Our congress should be regular within a specific time frame. Our party is the framework in which we thrive as the ruling party,” he stated.
Also at the meeting were Governors Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), Lucky Aiyedatiwa (Ondo), and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun).
The rest were the pioneer National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, ex-Ogun State governors, Chief Olusegun Osoba, and Ibikunle Amosun, APC senators, members of the House of Representatives, House of Assembly, and other top government officials from South-West.
