Tinubu made these remarks on Wednesday while hosting Vice President Kashim Shettima, the National Assembly leadership, and former principal officers at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos. The visit, led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, was part of a New Year’s tribute, following a similar visit by the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

In a statement released by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President emphasized that the Nigerian people are at the heart of his administration’s mission. He expressed appreciation for the visit, wishing everyone a prosperous New Year.

“The journey of transformation we have embarked upon is for all of us, for the future of our nation and generations yet unborn. Your commitment to building this nation will bear fruit for tomorrow,” he said. “Our strength lies in our confidence and determination. We are resolute in our mission to take Nigeria to the Promised Land.”

Acknowledging the lawmakers’ support, the President vowed to continue making bold decisions for national progress. “We have a Yoruba saying: Only a courageous dog captures the animal in the bush,” he remarked, highlighting the importance of courage in leadership.

Senate President Akpabio praised the President for his bold reforms and assured him of the National Assembly’s unwavering support. He pointed to positive economic developments under Tinubu’s leadership, such as Nigeria’s oversubscription of its Eurobond, improvements in ease of doing business, and a surge in foreign investor confidence.

“We salute your leadership and commend the bold reforms you’ve initiated,” Akpabio said. “Investors are drawn to Nigeria because of your leadership, and we look forward to seeing the benefits unfold.”

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, also expressed gratitude to the President for his respect and ongoing support of the National Assembly. He noted that many top figures in the administration, including the President, Vice President, and several ministers, were former members of the Assembly.

Abbas further highlighted the unity of the National Assembly under this administration, noting that there had been no request made to the President regarding the Assembly that had not been honored.

“This is a historic achievement. We thank you for your support and for providing relief to Nigerians in need. The challenges of 2023 gave way to a year-end filled with food and prosperity, and we are optimistic that 2025 will be the year every Nigerian will be proud of this administration,” he concluded.
