A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Dr. Akinola Awodeyi-Akinsehinwa, has advised members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, against utterances and actions capable of heating up the polity as political activities gather momentum.
Awodeyi-Akinsehinwa, in a statement issued on Friday, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has attained mid-term in office and what is expected of key stakeholders is to close ranks and support his administration to consolidate on its achievements.
He noted that what Nigerians expect at this time is delivery of more dividends of democracy and not political bickering capable of distracting the President.
According to him, the Progressive Governors as leaders of the party in their respective states and the FCT Minister as a key member of the Tinubu administration, should channel their energies towards delivering on the Renewed Hope Agenda.
‘Nigeria is going through a delicate process of economic recovery and reform. This is not the time to heat up the polity with unnecessary rivalry and political showmanship. We should allow the President to focus and finish strong,’ he said.
The APC chieftain appealed to all stakeholders to put national interest first and avoid distractions that could derail the administration’s efforts at rebuilding the economy and restoring public confidence.
He stressed that the unity of the ruling party remains its greatest strength going into 2027, warning that any crack in the ranks of governors and strategic allies like the FCT Minister would only embolden the opposition and create needless tension among party faithful across the country.
