The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said President Bola Tinubu met several challenges, especially economic challenges and is gradually implementing programmes and policies that would bring sucour and relief to the citizens.

Addressing journalists shortly after the APC National Working Committee (NWC) meeting held on Wednesday, the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru joined President Tinubu to appeal to the masterminds of the scheduled protest to shelve the idea just as he dismissed their demands as merely political.

Ajibola noted that the present administration met a lot of challenges upon assumption of office and was taking conscious efforts to surmount them.

He said: “The APC at its 153rd NWC meeting has joined the President to passionately appeal to those who are planning protests to shelve their plans and have confidence and belief in the government to address most of the economic challenges facing the nation.

“The NWC also noted that since coming on board in 2023, the Government met quite a number of challenges, especially economic challenges, and Mr President is gradually implementing programmes and policies that would in the nearest future, bring succour and relief to the citizens.

“The meeting also highlighted that most of the economic challenges are global issues, and can only be addressed after thorough brain-storming.

“The NWC also noted that some of the issues highlighted by the protesters are political, while others are constitutional matters that can only be addressed through the amendment of the constitution, which is on-going at the National Assembly. (Nigerian Tribune)
