Senate President Godswill Akpabio has clarified that the APC-led administration never assured Nigerians of instant transformations. Speaking at the inauguration of a seven-kilometer road and bridge project in the Federal Capital Territory on Friday, he emphasized that the government committed to delivering what he described as ‘structural, calculated and deliberate progress’ under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
His remarks come amidst widespread public frustration over soaring living costs, largely triggered by the removal of fuel subsidies and other recent policy shifts. Akpabio insisted that the administration is faithfully implementing its long-term governance strategy.
‘When we assumed office, we did not promise you miracles that would materialize out of nowhere. We pledged structural, calculated, and deliberate progress,’ he stated. He added, ‘We promised a Renewed Hope Agenda that would impact every Nigerian, not just in economic figures but in the tangible reality of their daily hardships.’
