July 08, (THEWILL) — The Federal Government has stated that President Bola Tinubu is not distracted by the ongoing political realignment and remains firmly committed to his core mandate of delivering meaningful reforms and real economic growth for the Nigerian people.
A statement personally signed on Tuesday by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, emphasised that President Tinubu’s administration will not be sidetracked by politicking or political distractions, and maintained that all Nigerians have freedom of association.
“Even as we affirm the right of all Nigerians to freely exercise their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of association and of speech, it is also important to underscore that President Tinubu’s administration will not be sidetracked by politicking or political distractions. The clamour in the media about the emergence of a new political ‘coalition’ is understandable, but Nigerians entrusted President Tinubu with a bold and transformative mandate, anchored in the Renewed Hope agenda”, he said.
Idris, while highlighting the achievements of President Tinubu in the last two years, said the Tinubu administration remains undeterred, focused, and committed to building a more prosperous Nigeria for all.
He said, “In just two years, this vision has already begun yielding tangible results. Crude oil theft has plummeted, investor confidence in the oil and gas sector is rebounding, inflation is easing, the Naira is stabilising, security challenges are being confronted head-on, and millions of Nigerians—households, students, artisans, small business owners—are benefitting from initiatives such as student loans, access to consumer credit, CNG vehicle conversions, and improved government services and infrastructure.
“Two weeks ago, the President signed four groundbreaking tax reform bills into law, marking one of the most ambitious fiscal overhauls in Nigeria’s history. Set to be implemented from 2026, these reforms are expected to significantly boost prosperity for households and businesses nationwide.
“Just before then, the President commissioned the single largest mechanisation drive ever undertaken in Nigeria’s history—marking the launch of the Renewed Hope Agricultural Mechanisation Programme. This is just one of several high-impact agricultural mechanisation programs being undertaken to guarantee food security.”
The minister said the emerging coalitions and opposition political groupings do not want a sustained focus on the progress Nigeria is making.
“The administration, however, refuses to be drawn into distractions engineered by those who would prefer stagnation over reform”, Idris added.
