While acknowledging a recent rise in insecurity and persistent economic challenges, APC Chieftain Isaac Balami offered a qualified defense of President Bola Tinubu’s performance, urging Nigerians to be patient and recognize the administration’s achievements in key areas. Balami specifically highlighted Tinubu’s reforms in agriculture, which he claims have led to a recent drop in inflation and lower food prices. He also praised the administration’s tax reform initiatives and its efforts to grant greater autonomy to local governments. Furthermore, Balami commended Tinubu’s commitment to youth inclusion, noting the representation of young people in various government roles.
In addition to his assessment of President Tinubu, Balami lauded Borno Governor Babagana Zulum’s efforts to combat insecurity in his state, praising his hands-on approach and dedication to protecting the people of Borno.
However, Balami also urged President Tinubu to remain focused on addressing the rising insecurity across the nation, particularly as electioneering campaigns approach. He cautioned against complacency and emphasized the need for continued vigilance and proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of all Nigerians. While acknowledging the progress made in some areas, Balami’s statement suggests a need for further action and a more comprehensive approach to tackling the nation’s challenges.
