Tinubu Promises Political Reform In Second Term

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to embark on political reform of the country during his second term in office, saying what preoccupies his administration at the moment is how to secure the country and make the economy strong.

The president, who is currently serving his first term in office has indicated his interest to run in next year’s presidential election amid Nigerians’ demand for immediate total political overhaul in the country.

But the president while speaking in Lagos, on Wednesday,  at the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, book lunch and  presentation of awards to the activists and their partners organised by the National Secretary of the organisation,  Ayo Opadokun disclosed that his focus at the moment is to ensure economic prosperity for Nigerians, and to also ensure that they are safe.

Tinubu who was represented at the occasion by Chief Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun state, accused some people of deliberately trying to bring down the government by fueling insecurity across the country, because they felt offended by some hard decisions of the Tinubu’s government, including fuel subsidy removal.

He said Tinubu is tacking the challenges facing the country head-on, and would ensure that the issue of political reform is taken care of in his second term in office.

He said:”The president asked me to tell you that he will implement political policies in his second term. He is focusing on the economy and security issues now.

“There is a deliberate attempt by people to disturb the peace of the country by those who feel offended by his policies on fuel subsidy and round tripping.”

The president, who was represented by former Ogun State Governor Olusegun Osoba, said unpatriotic elements who are opposed to his laudable policies and programmes are behind the security challenges.

Tinubu lauds NADECO for its heroic struggles over the years, particularly during the struggle to enshrine democracy in the country, noting that it would have been impossible for him to become president if not for the struggle of men and women in NDACO.
