“Today, it was like a woman that was under labour; and the parents have heard the cries of the new baby and now, it is jubilation everywhere,” he said.Uzodinma, who stated that the APC federal government is rolling out a massive economic empowerment programme that would directly touch hundreds of lives in each ward across the nation’s 774 local government councils, further said:“So I commend you, my brothers and sisters, our party members for the leadership you have shown and to you our leaders, for the protection you have given to our members all this while because I know what it means to be a leader.“I have seen former governors of Kebbi state, Alhaji Adamu Aliero, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu and other leaders here; there is a common proverb in my place: when the eye is bleeding, the nose is also bleeding – so, for them to have shown leadership and for you to have remained resilient and committed to our party, we must give glory to God.
“Now that you went through the famine, the good news is that this is now harvest period; after the President has worked so hard through the Renewed Hope Agenda, to begin to earn more revenue – Nigeria is now earning huge revenue outside crude oil – the President, in his wisdom in the last National Economic Council meeting, decided that 1,000 active businesses must be created in every electoral world across Nigeria between now and the next six to twelve months.“Through that, we must have minimum of 1,000 active businesses in each ward and I have been told that it’s happening simultaneously all over the country; when your governor told you to submit names electoral ward, that is the purpose for which those names is being collected.“Whether you are a vulcanizer, bicycle repair, a barber, bricklayer, an IT specialist, no matter your businesses, we need to now push them to them, some of this money that we have earned, so that it reaches down to the grassroots and nothing can beat this,” he said.
According to Uzodinma, the only truly viable political party in Nigeria is the All Progressives Congress and that is the reason why political heavyweights from other parties are queuing to join it.“The truth is that there is only one political party in Nigeria and the name of that political party is APC; have you not seen on the television or at the National Assembly and in states, every day, you see Senators, House of Reps members and others leaving their parties and joining APC.“You also see governors leaving their party and joining APC; It is not born out of nothing, it is conviction that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has performed – it is a testament to the fact that Nigeria is now working again,” Uzodinma stated.
Meanwhile, the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) at the end of a two-day meeting held in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, between October 16 and 17 reaffirmed its commitment to the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.The forum, in a communiqué read by the chairman, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, said that the meeting, which brought together APC governors from across the country, served as a strategic platform for reflection on the nation’s socio-economic trajectory and a reassessment of the states’ role in Nigeria’s transformation process.
“The forum also described the collaborative framework involving the federal, state, and local governments as a model of cooperative federalism and inclusive development,” he said.“The governors congratulated President Tinubu, the national leadership of the APC, and Nigerians at large on the development.“This would further strengthen national unity and progressive leadership across the country.
“We warmly congratulate His Excellency, Dr Peter Mbah, on his courageous decision to join the APC.“His entry reinforces the party’s growing national appeal and validates the policy strength of the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he said.Uzodimma said that the forum also commended President Tinubu and the APC leadership for steering the party into what it described as a new era of inclusivity, ideological clarity, and national consolidation.
“During the meeting, the governors undertook a comprehensive appraisal of the political, security, and socio-economic situation in the country.“They expressed satisfaction with the progress being recorded in fiscal reforms, food security, power sector stabilisation, infrastructural modernisation, and social intervention programmes.“The forum noted that under President Tinubu’s leadership, the nation’s economy is recording steady growth, with inflation and interest rates declining, while revenue accruing to the three tiers of government continues to increase.
“The forum lauded the President for initiatives introduced through the National Economic Council aimed at creating opportunities for Nigerians across the 8,809 INEC wards of the federation.“The Progressive Governors’ Forum commends the foresight of President Tinubu and reaffirms its collective resolve to support all policies and programmes under the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
