Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the country has moved past its most difficult economic period.
The Vice President’s spokesperson, Stanley Nkwocha, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
He noted that Tinubu offered the assurance during the inauguration of Monday Okpebholo and Dennis Idahosa as governor and deputy governor of Edo State.
Represented by Kashim Shettima, the president stated that the inauguration marks a new chapter in Edo State’s history with the victory of democratic values.
“We have weathered the hardest days as a nation. We have pulled back from the brink of economic collapse, and now we step forward into a time of growth.
”When we took office, we knew that securing the future of our economy would demand serious reform—reform to stave off looming fiscal and monetary threats to the stability of this great nation,” he stated.
He called for immediate reconciliation to address potential post-election differences in the state.

” While some may seek to disrupt peace after the will of the people has been expressed, every elected leader has a duty that extends to all, including those who may have voted differently or those who ran against them.
”It is often said that an honest leader is quick to see the legacy of problems they inherit. However, what truly defines such a leader is not the magnitude of these challenges, but the sincerity and courage to confront them,” he said.
Mr Tinubu noted that the new administration’s mandate extends beyond partisan considerations.
“Senator Okpebholo has committed himself to building the Edo State you envision, a place where jobs are plentiful, where education is accessible and strong, where infrastructure is modern, and where healthcare is within reach of every citizen.
“No political party has managed its own affairs with greater unity and purpose than the APC since we took charge,” he said.
