“Nigeria Is Rising — And No Amount of Opposition Bitterness Can Stop It,” Lagos APC Replies to President Tinubu’s Statement at FEC
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) hails President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s emphatic address to the Federal Executive Council – a masterclass in clarity, confidence, and leadership grounded in verifiable results, not emotional blackmail or political hysteria.
While opposition figures are busy dragging Nigeria’s image through mud to remain relevant, President Tinubu continues to rebuild the nation brick by brick, fact by fact, reform by reform.
TINUBU: THE PRESIDENT FOR THIS SEASON
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unmistakably the President for this season – prepared, courageous, focused and divinely aligned with the demands of this moment in our national history.
Nigeria is blessed to have him at a time like this.
Where others panic, he strategises.
Where others shout, he delivers.
Where others sow fear, he inspires confidence.
FACTS DON’T LIE – EVEN IF THE OPPOSITION DOES
The oversubscribed $2.35 billion Eurobond (over 400% subscription) is not a political claim; it is the world voting with its money. Investors are not sentimental – they are convinced Nigeria is back on a growth path.
Additional hard facts:
• 4.23% GDP growth – best in a decade
• 13 high-growth sectors
• Industrial growth almost doubled
• Inflation down to 18.02%
• FX reserves above $43 billion
• ₦7.4 trillion trade surplus
• Exit from FATF Grey List
These are the fruits of courageous reforms, not propaganda.
THE OPPOSITION’S DESPERATION IS SHOWING
For months, opposition leaders:
• demarketed Nigeria locally and abroad,
• prayed for instability,
• spread fear for political relevance,
• and lobbied for negative foreign labels.
Instead of rising as statesmen, they chose bitterness.
Instead of building, they wished the nation to collapse for political gain.
In doing so, they lost a lifetime opportunity to be counted among statesmen.
BAD NEWS FOR THE MERCHANTS OF DESPAIR
We have bad news for them:
Nigerians will reward the enemies of their country at the 2027 polls.
You cannot curse a land and hope to prosper in it.
You cannot seek to lead a nation you are secretly praying to fail.
Nation-building is a complete package – not something you cherry-pick when convenient.
The events of recent weeks have exposed them.
2027 will expose them even further.
A PRESIDENT DELIVERING; AN OPPOSITION DISINTEGRATING
While President Tinubu restores stability, strengthens diplomacy, and confronts security challenges head-on, the opposition continues to fracture under the weight of its own pettiness.
Nigeria will not succumb to fear.
Nigeria will not bow to mischief-makers.
Nigeria will not be defined by those who trade in hopelessness.
CONCLUSION
Leadership is not noise – it is results.
President Tinubu is delivering those results with courage, clarity and conviction.
Nigeria is rising again, no matter whose bitterness is bruised by that progress.
Lagos APC stands firmly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The nation is in steady, capable hands.
