President Tinubu challenged all council members to work assiduously to deliver victory for the party in the January 2027 elections and urged the heads of the various directorates to reach out to other party members who may not have been formally listed to join their important work.
“We have delivered on our campaign promises and we have put our country on a path of economic progress,” he said. “We are certainly out of the dark tunnel and now at the threshold of reaping the dividends of a prosperous economy that will benefit all Nigerians.
