Lalong and Oluremi Tinubu Support Tinubu's 2027 Bid
At the National Summit of the Forum of All Progressives Congress Former Presiding Officers of State Houses of Assembly of Nigeria (APC-FOPSHAN) in Abuja, Simon Lalong, a former governor of Plateau State and Director-General of Tinubu’s 2023 presidential campaign, along with Senator Oluremi Tinubu, defended President Bola Tinubu's quest for a second term. They argued that the stabilizing measures implemented by the government require time to yield benefits for Nigerians.
Lalong stated that Tinubu's economic reforms, particularly the removal of the petrol subsidy on May 29, 2023, were courageous decisions aimed at addressing long-standing structural economic issues. He emphasized that returning Tinubu in 2027 would allow him to complete these reforms.
Lalong noted that the subsidy removal was a significant and difficult decision, necessary for redirecting public resources towards investments that enhance Nigeria's productive capacity. The summit's theme was “Bold Leadership, Bold Reforms: From Subsidy to Renewed Hope.”.
