Former President Muhammadu Buhari has called for more support for President Bola Tinubu and the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC), after two years in office.
Buhari made call in a statement on Wednesday by his Spokesman, Garba Shehu.
The former President congratulated President Tinubu on his mid-term, saying that as the party and the government celebrate, the country should be reminded that leadership is a continuous journey.
While calling for steadfast support for the APC government, Buhari explained that reforms would achieve success gradually, not overnight.
He warned that necessary reforms and desired changes must not fall victim to nettlesome domestic politics.
He expressed support for the ongoing efforts by the administration to curb poverty and inflation, which he says have hit the poorest families the hardest, adding however that the task of reducing poverty and inflation, which is immense, must not be left only for the government.
“The private sector and all of us as citizens must join in all ways we can.”
He urged Nigerians to remain optimistic and stay confident about the country’s future.
“Our expectations from our governments should not get heavy,” President Buhari said in the conclusion of his message.
“I am wishing President Tinubu heartfelt congratulations on his two years in office. May you keep leading with wisdom and care.”
