Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his mid-term and urged Nigerians to manage their expectations from the government, noting that “reforms would achieve success gradually, not overnight.”
In a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the former President insisted that combating poverty and inflation, problems he acknowledged have “hit the poorest families the hardest,” cannot fall on the government alone.
The statement was titled ‘Tinubu Gets Buhari’s Praise, Advice At Midterm.’
“Muhammadu Buhari called for steadfast support for the APC government as it marks its second year in office, explaining that reforms would achieve success gradually, not overnight.
“He warned that necessary reforms and desired changes must not fall victim to nettlesome domestic politics,” the statement read.
Buhari expressed support for the ongoing efforts by the Tinubu administration to curb poverty and inflation, urging that “The private sector and all of us as citizens must join in all ways we can.”
He advised Nigerians to remain optimistic and stay confident about the country’s future, saying, “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,” he concluded.
