President Bola Tinubu said that democracy has to be inclusive and progressive, with a key goal of combating poverty by giving young people access to employment possibilities and ensuring that all Nigerian children receive a top-notch education.
Tinubu On Thursday, welcomed members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) in Lagos, stating his support for the party’s creation of the National Institute of Progressive Studies.
The President stated that in addition to giving the party a unique character, the Institute is supposed to carry out a thorough study and instruct all party members on the fundamentals of democracy and good government.
According to Mr President
Democracy has faced challenges in the past, but I believe in a promising future for our country. We will deliver it. I am committed to supporting a strong and ideologically determined democracy that is progressive, inclusive, and focused on eliminating poverty while providing quality education for our children.
Collaboration with various government arms is crucial, and I commend the leadership of our party for working hard to promote these essential ideals.
I stand solidly with you in the advancement of the progressive ideological stance of our party and we will pursue it with vigour.
It has been a while since we have had the opportunity to come together, especially since the Supreme Court ruling. I had hoped for a gathering, but the demanding tasks of my office that we fought for have called for increased focus, dedication, and time.
We must address this issue by establishing more schools, recruiting teachers, and providing at least one meal a day for the school children, aligning with the progressive ideology we aim to pursue.”
