By Dayo Johnson Akure

A group of concerned Nigerian Professionals living in the Diaspora have rallied support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The group thanked God for the divine collaboration of the impactful President Bola Tinubu and the peaceful Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, who they said have provided exemplary and purposeful leadership in the last two years.

This was contained in a statement, entitled “Let’s build on President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio’s impactful and exemplary leadership,” was signed by its Coordinator, Princess Diana Akinmoyo.

Akinmoyo said that “President Tinubu’s revolutionary achievements as the Governor of Lagos State from 1999-2007 and what he encouraged his predecessors to effect in Lagos which brought it from a slum status to a decent city that is currently competing with similar commercial nerve centres around the world.

She added that” one can only appreciate the fact that he is now leveraging on more efforts to move Nigeria forward.”

“Undoubtedly, we now have one of the best democratically elected governments in history, which has expanded Nigeria’s GDP by $67 billion in just two years, moving us from a ₦269.29 trillion economy on May 29, 2023, when Senator Bola Tinubu became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.

“President Bola Tinubu has equally increased our national prestige by achieving the upgrading of Nigeria’s passport from the 97th strongest in the World by 2022 to the 88th most powerful passport on Earth 2025, according to the latest “Henley Passport Index.

Akinmoyo said that this is even as “S&P Global Ratings” has upgraded Nigeria’s economic outlook to “positive” from “stable”, citing the success of the Tinubu reforms, which, through the removal of fuel subsidy and the Tax Reform Act, have added more revenue streams to our economy.

“Moreover, the President has tamed inflation tremendously, bringing it to a three-year low of 16.o %, (from about 33% in 2023, when he took over . ) just as he has stabilised the economy, as affirmed by no less than London Financial Times and a personality of Dr (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the DG of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

“The synergy between the National Assembly and the Presidency is another vitally important factor that is promoting the image of the current Federal Government even in the international communities.

The statement added that distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio’s uncommon excellence as the current president of the Nigerian Senate and the Chairman of the National Assembly is not any surprise, looking at his antecedents.

“It is believed that God really prepared him sufficiently for this new assignment; he was a two-term State Commissioner (1999-2007), Governor of Akwa Ibom State for 8 years (2007-2015), Hon Minister in the Federal Republic of Nigeria (2015-2019), Senate Minority Leader (2019-2023 and after his re-election into the Senate, he was elected by his Distinguished colleagues as the President of the Nigerian Senate since June 2023 !

“The Godswill Akpabio International Stadium he built as a Governor in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State remains the best in Nigeria, West Africa, and arguably in Africa No wonder he is actually leveraging on this rich wealth of experience to lead the Senate to an enviable level, and it is noteworthy that he’s particularly loyal to the visionary and impactful reforms of the Presidency and has been able to work with minimal friction from his colleagues.”

The group encouraged “all Nigerians at home and abroad to allow the “Renewed Hope Agenda” and the two wonderful and God’s choices to continue to navigate our affairs beyond 2027 so that Nigeria can grow in geometric progression and meet our dream of a highly peaceful and progressive nation.”
