Response from AATSG to Former Governor Sule Lamido’s Allegations
By Abayomi Odunowo
The Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu Support Group (AATSG) recognizes the importance of maintaining an open dialogue regarding the governance and policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Recently, former Governor Sule Lamido made remarks accusing the President and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of misleading Nigerians with propaganda and deception. While we acknowledge Mr. Lamido’s right to express his opinions, we feel compelled to respond with factual information to clarify the administration’s position and reaffirm our commitment to the Nigerian people.
The allegations made by Mr. Lamido reflect a broader concern about transparency and accountability in government. Trust in public institutions has been eroded over the years, and misinformation can exacerbate this issue. When prominent figures question the integrity of governance, it raises legitimate concerns among citizens about whether their interests are truly being represented. However, it is imperative to recognize that such claims must be grounded in facts and constructive critiques rather than unfounded assertions.
Nigerians deserve clarity on the policies and motivations driving their government. At a time when the nation’s economic stability and growth trajectory are at stake, the comments made by Mr. Lamido risk creating unnecessary confusion and fear among the populace. This confusion can detract from the administration’s ongoing reforms aimed at building a more prosperous and transparent Nigeria. The need for clear communication is paramount, and this administration aims to provide that by breaking down complex issues into manageable discourse.
President Tinubu’s administration is resolute in its commitment to transparency in governance. From its inception, the Tinubu government has implemented policies designed to responsibly utilize public funds while keeping citizens informed about significant decisions. The removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of exchange rates, for instance, were not merely administrative moves but bold steps toward building a resilient economy.
The current administration stands apart from its predecessors by implementing necessary reforms that confront Nigeria’s issues directly. Unlike the previous administrations, which may have deferred crucial economic challenges, the APC government’s approach has been proactive. The administration has made it clear that steps taken today are in the interest of creating a stable and growing economy for the future.
In addressing the financial implications of policies and budget allocations, it is essential to highlight that the 2024 budget has been meticulously crafted with realistic revenue projections. Any borrowing undertaken by this government is strategic and tied to critical initiatives that directly enhance infrastructure, healthcare, and education. The fiscal reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration aim to expand Nigeria’s revenue base, reduce dependency on oil, and enhance contributions from non-oil sectors. These measures are vital for ensuring sustainable growth and reducing future borrowing needs.
While this administration welcomes constructive criticism as a means of growth, it stresses the importance of factual discourse. Public engagement should be centered around solutions that contribute positively to nation-building rather than politically motivated rhetoric. Encouraging an informed citizenry to engage with government initiatives will lead to a more collaborative atmosphere where accountability and transparency can flourish.
It is essential to note that governance should not be measured by the prevailing narratives on social media. The APC administration remains focused on delivering for Nigerians through tangible outcomes. Citizens are encouraged to assess policies based on their real-world implications rather than sensationalist narratives that may distort the truth.
The Tinubu administration is acutely aware of the multifaceted challenges that Nigeria faces and is diligently working to address them. From initiatives aimed at job creation to support for small and medium enterprises, the government is committed to improving the quality of life for all Nigerians.
In closing, we urge former Governor Sule Lamido and other critics to engage in constructive dialogue that prioritizes the well-being of Nigeria over political posturing. President Tinubu’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and national progress remains unwavering. In these challenging times, it is essential for all Nigerians to come together, seek common ground, and work collectively toward a better Nigeria 🇳🇬 that can achieve peace future for our nation.
