In a statement released by Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, Pa Fasoranti praised the Tinubu administration for its courageous policies over the past year, expressing belief that these policies will enhance governance and local administration in Nigeria.

“Before, during and after the Presidential election that brought you into office last year, I gave you some ideas regarding how to tackle some challenges that Nigeria faced – and still faces. We also spoke about some of these issues when I led the Afenifere delegation to your office in Abuja last month,” Fasoranti stated.

He acknowledged that Tinubu’s efforts align with his campaign promises and are aimed at implementing policies to improve Nigeria’s situation and benefit the people. Fasoranti commended the reforms initiated by the government, noting their potential to revamp the country’s economy and reduce mutual distrust among ethnic nationalities.

Ajayi highlighted Fasoranti’s particular commendation of Tinubu’s efforts to rescue local governments from the control of state governors. “It’s undebatable that local government is the closest to the people. It is through it that the people at the grassroots can effectively feel the impact of the government. As the situation is presently, however, the tight grip that state governors have on local governments is seriously denying the people of the benefits they should, by right, be deriving from their local governments,” Fasoranti emphasized.

Fasoranti praised the Attorney General, Lateef Fagbemi, for his steps on behalf of the federal government to address this issue, describing it as a step in the right direction. He expressed optimism that the government’s actions will soon alleviate Nigerians’ pains and called on President Tinubu to further invest in infrastructure, such as power and transport.

He added, “Security is an important factor in any social equation. For, it’s in a situation where people are secured that they would be able to confidently engage in activities that will boost the economy and enhance inter-personal relationships. In order to institutionalize reforms being made, accelerate developments, enhance people’s participation in governance, and engender the desired new Nigeria, there is the urgent need to restructure the country. Restructuring will deepen people’s participation in governance, boost the creativity of Nigerians, and guarantee the future of the country.”
