Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on reaching the midpoint of his term in office. Buhari emphasized that leadership is an ongoing journey and urged Nigerians to provide steadfast support to the APC government as it marks its second year.
In a statement released on 28 May 2025, Buhari highlighted that reforms take time to yield results and warned against allowing necessary changes to be derailed by domestic political challenges. He expressed strong backing for the administration’s efforts to tackle poverty and inflation, which have disproportionately affected the poorest families.
However, Buhari stressed that addressing these issues is a collective responsibility that extends beyond the government to the private sector and citizens alike. He encouraged Nigerians to remain optimistic and confident about the nation’s future, cautioning that expectations from the government should be measured.
Concluding his message, Buhari wished President Tinubu continued wisdom and care in his leadership. The statement was signed by Garba Shehu, Buhari’s media aide.
