Tinubu Committed To Stability In Governance, Akume Assures
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, on Tuesday, assured Nigerians that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is strongly committed to policy continuity and the stability of governance.
Akume, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of Political and Economic Affairs in the office of the SGF, Nadunga Gagare, stated that continuity is not just a governance principle, but a moral obligation to secure sustainable development and prosperity for all.
The former Benue governor highlighted that the chosen theme, “Continuity in Governance and Government Policies: Panacea to Sustainable Development in Nigeria”, is fundamental to the success of any nation.
He said, “In Nigeria’s history, one of the greatest challenges has been the tendency to abandon policies, projects and programmes once there is a change in leadership. Sustainable development, however, thrives on consistency.
“A road started by one administration should be completed by the next.
“This is why the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu is committed to stability in governance and placed emphasis on strengthening national institutions, implementing reforms that outlive personalities and ensuring that government becomes less about individuals and more about a system that delivers for the people.”
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation further explained that this cycle of discontinuity has often stalled progress, wasted resources and slowed down the pace of development.
He said the movement is not just a ceremony but an initiative that directly considers the yearnings of the masses for inclusive, accountable development at the grassroots.
Senator Akume, who urged the group to remain focused and promote continuity in governance, stressed that the grassroots are the heartbeat of democracy, and without the active involvement of the people at the base of the society, no government’s brilliant policy can succeed.
“The Renewed Hope Grassroots Movement has a duty to mobilise, sensitise and ensure that citizens not only understand but take ownership of government policies”, Akume stated.
In his welcome address, the National Leader of the Renewed Hope Grassroots Movement, Isaac Udeh, asserted that the President has solidified his position in the 2027 election cycle.
Udeh also pleaded with Nigerians to exercise patience with Tinubu as he strives to revive the country’s ailing economy.
“We are here because we are comfortable with the policies of President Bola Tinubu and don’t want anybody else to come and carry out any experiment with us.
“Nigerians need to be patient because what we are going through is like pregnancy, there will be joy very soon”, he stressed.
