00:00Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tanubu has denied being invited by the United States, U.S. President, Donald Trump for a working visit to the White House, following a media statement circulated on the internet claiming to have been issued by the office of the Nigeria President.
00:16A spokesperson to the President, Bayo Onanuga in a swift reaction on Sunday, said, those behind the press release are clickbaiters, adding, the Nigeria has not received any of such letters of invitation from the U.S. President.
00:32Bayo Onanuga who described the writers of the press release as fake news propagators, said, the law would soon catch up with the person or people behind the false and misleading information.
00:43Disinformation agents, hoax peddlers, fake news propagators, clickbaiters at work again.
00:51Whoever you are, one day, the law will catch you, Bayo Onanuga stated.
00:56Meanwhile, President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has said that under his administration, Nigeria is not just one party state but one party, making a difference.
01:06President Bola Ahmed Tanubu stated this during the week, according to the news release made available to the public by the special advisor to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
01:19According to the statement, President Bola Tanubu has attributed the All Progressives Congress, APC, s growing support to its outstanding achievements in less than two years in office, assuring Nigerians that the country will not become a one party state.
01:35At the APC Renewed Hope Agenda Summit, held at the State House Conference Center on Thursday, President Tanubu addressed party leaders, the National Working Committee, the leadership of the National Assembly, and the Progressive Governors Forum, which comprises 22 governors.
01:53All collectively endorsed him for a second term.
01:56The party convened the summit to review the administration's two-year performance across key economic sectors.
02:02The president said his administration's focus on economic reforms for long-term gains has continued to receive positive reviews from within and outside the country.
02:13A one-party system is not suitable for democracy.
02:16We are one party ruling and carrying on with the aspirations of Nigerians.
02:21You don't expect people to remain in a sinking ship without a life jacket.
02:25I am happy with what we have accomplished and expecting more people to come.
02:31That's the game, he added.
02:33President Tanubu said citizens have the constitutional right to choose between associations.
02:39I thank every one of you.
02:41I am thoroughly inspired.
02:43We are just halfway through the journey that started 24 months ago, he said.
02:48The president thanked members of the Federal Executive Council for courageously pursuing the vision of a better Nigeria and the party leadership and National Assembly for their support.
02:59Together, we pledged to confront Nigeria's challenges head-on by rebuilding the trust, fostering prosperity and restoring our nation's economic quest.
03:09Today, I am proud to affirm that our economic reforms are working.
03:13Nothing good comes easy in life.
03:16All of you have been through life, and sometimes, only hard decisions can make things easy in the future.
03:23We couldn't just afford to spend the future of our children and unborn babies.
03:28Through our Renewed Hope agenda, our administration pledged to tackle economic instability, improve security nationwide, reduce corruption, reform governance, and lift our people out of poverty.
03:41How fast could you have rebuilt this country, if you allow the arbitrage in the exchange rate to continue, that is the grandfather of corruption.
03:50You could see EFCC recover over 750-something houses from one person, he said.
03:58The president admitted that the reforms were tough decisions but assured Nigerians they were necessary.
04:03Yes, we, encountered challenges when we assumed office in May 2023, but we have made progress by implementing difficult, long overdue but necessary economic reforms.
04:16We have eliminated the arbitrage-driven multiple foreign exchanges, and our far-reaching tax reforms are coming.
04:22Because of the reforms, our country now attracts foreign direct investments that will ultimately create jobs and produce much-needed goods and services that will significantly improve the standard of living of our people, he said.
04:36The Progressive's Governor's Forum Chairman and IMO State Governor, Hope Uzodima, said the president had provided inspiring and visionary leadership and deserved a second term in 2027.
04:49He thus moved a motion passing a vote of confidence in the president and endorsing him for the 2027 race.
04:56Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, seconded the motion.
05:00The President of the Senate, Senator Godzwill Akpabio and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Right Honorable Tajuddin Abbas also praised the president for purposeful and inclusive leadership.
05:13The leaders of the National Assembly said they would support the president for a second term in office and also moved a motion to endorse him.
05:20The APC Chairman, Abdullahi Gandhujay, who led the NWC members to endorse President Tanubu for a second term, said the president would be the party's sole candidate for the 2027 presidential elections.
05:35I urge all members to reject internal sabotage, engage communities, listen to citizens, and build a political structure beyond elections, the former Kano State Governor added.
05:47Gandhujay urged members to renew their commitment to the principles that united the party and inspired its formation.
05:54Let us rally behind President Bola Tanubu, support our policies, and deliver the renewed hope Nigerians rightfully deserve, he stated.
06:04The conference reviewed key sectors, including health, infrastructure, and security.
