The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said that the massive turnout of party faithful and supporters at the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central Presidential Campaign Rally in Jos, Plateau State, was as a result of the growing public appreciation of the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over the past three years.
The minister who spoke at the rally on Saturday, said the enthusiastic participation of party faithful and supporters reflected, in his assessment, confidence in the administration’s reform agenda and its efforts to reposition the country for sustainable economic growth and development.
Idris, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Rabiu Ibrahim, said: “The turnout we are witnessing here today is a clear demonstration of the confidence Nigerians have in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the direction his administration is taking the country. The people can see the efforts being made to address longstanding challenges, strengthen the economy and create a better future for our country.”
He noted that the Tinubu administration had continued to implement policies and programmes aimed at strengthening the economy, expanding infrastructure, creating opportunities and improving the living conditions of Nigerians.
Idris further said the administration remained focused on consolidating the gains of its reforms and ensuring that their benefits translated into tangible improvements in the lives of citizens across the country.
“President Tinubu remains committed to staying the course and ensuring that the decisions being taken today deliver lasting benefits for Nigerians. What is important is that we continue to build on the progress made and work towards a stronger, more prosperous nation,” the minister also said.
He also urged the opposition political parties to embrace issue-based campaigns and demonstrate greater organisational preparedness rather than relying on political rhetoric and criticism of the government.
The minister emphasised that Nigeria’s democratic process would be better served by constructive political engagement, credible alternatives and robust debates on policies and programmes that directly affect the welfare of Nigerians.
Idris further emphasised the importance of responsible political conduct as the country approaches the 2027 general elections, noting that political parties have a collective responsibility to promote peaceful participation and strengthen public confidence in the democratic process.
