The African Peoples' Congress (APC) campaign council has publicly praised President Bola Tinubu for his “courageously tackling Nigeria’s economic challenges.” The council highlighted the president’s decision to remove the fuel subsidy as a key step toward stabilising the nation’s finances.
In a statement released by the APC, members noted that the removal of the fuel subsidy was a bold move aimed at curbing government spending and encouraging market‑driven pricing. They also cited Tinubu’s efforts to “unify the fore” as part of his broader strategy to address economic instability.
While the council’s remarks focused on the subsidy reform, they underscored the president’s willingness to confront difficult policy choices. The APC’s message emphasised that such actions were intended to strengthen Nigeria’s fiscal position and promote long‑term growth.
President Tinubu’s administration has faced criticism over the subsidy removal, but the APC campaign council argues that the move was necessary to reduce corruption and improve the allocation of public resources. They called for continued support from the party’s grassroots to sustain these reforms.
As Nigeria navigates its economic challenges, the APC’s endorsement of Tinubu’s policies reflects a broader commitment to reform and fiscal responsibility. The council’s statement was issued ahead of upcoming campaign activities aimed at consolidating the party’s position in the forthcoming elections.
