President Bola Tinubu has urged All Progressives Congress, APC governors and the new party chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, to prioritise progressive reforms and development, especially at the grassroots.
The President gave the charge on Thursday during the 14th
National Executive Committee, NEC meeting of APC at the State House Banquet
Hall, Abuja.
He called on party leaders to strengthen grassroots
mobilisation and reinforce internal party structures for broader political
engagement and success.
“With the space we’ve created for aspiring members to join
us, our doors remain open, and we should embrace them wholeheartedly,” Tinubu
said.
He proposed the formation of a national working committee to
ensure seamless registration for new members across all states of the
federation.
“We may form a party of elders, as the new chairman
suggested, to oversee nationwide registration and ensure a smooth onboarding
process for all new members,” he said.
The President expressed concern about slow governance at the
local level and urged governors to deliver more democratic dividends to
citizens.
“I appreciate the confidence votes from the zones. We must
meet regularly to boost grassroots mobilisation and promote party unity.
“Nigerians are still complaining at the grassroots.
Governors, you must water the grass more and lead in delivering progressive
change to the people,” he said.
He also stressed the need for a permanent APC national
secretariat and tasked governors with leading the land acquisition process.
“Let us leave a legacy of development. Progressive governors
should work with the FCT Minister to find land for a befitting party
secretariat,” he said.
Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to economic stability and
ongoing reforms, assuring Nigerians of better prospects ahead.
“I thank you all. It’s not easy navigating economic
instability. But now, with stability, we face no fear — only upward growth,” he
said.
He pledged greater efforts towards food security, peace, and
national stability, adding that the government remains focused on delivering
key priorities.
“We must invest more in our country’s future. Those working
with me will ensure we secure a sovereign food guarantee for Nigeria.
“We will keep working hard and listening to all of you to
meet the nation’s goals and expectations,” he said.
The NEC meeting was attended by APC governors, ministers,
lawmakers, and senior party officials from across the country.
