Tinubu’s govt committed, addressing economic challenges, APC-USA youth leader assures Nigerians 

 Mr Oyakhilome Bello, an All Progressives Congress (APC) United States National Youth Leader has assured Nigeria youths that relief is in sight as the Federal Government is determined to address the country’s economy challenges.

He gave the assurance on Friday in Abuja at the party’s national secretariat while speaking with newsmen, saying those protesting against the Federal Government should shield their swords.

Bello alongside other leaders of the APC US chapter, earlier had a closed door meeting with Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, the party’s National Chairman and members of its National Working Committee (NWC).

The delegation include: Prof. Adesegun Labinjo, Alhaji Sama’ila Maigyara, Khairat Animashaun-Ajiboye and Felix Miliku

Bello described the meeting as productive, saying strategies to increase the party’s visibility among Nigerians in the diaspora were discussed.

He said the delegation was committed to ensuring that the party’s banner continued to fly high in the United States and made a household name globally.

“We are grateful for the warm reception and assurance of synergy from Ganduje, and our national executives, together, we’ll make our party a household name globally,” he said.

Bello who is also a member of Edo APC Governorship Campaign Council Diaspora Directorate expressed confidence that with the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, Nigeria would overcome its current challenges and achieve greatness.

He affirmed the support of the APC U.S to the forthcoming Edo governorship election, saying the chapter was dedicated to delivering victory for the party in the state.

“Relief is in sight as Port Harcourt refinery is set for operations in a few weeks time and plans had been concluded to subside cost of rice to #40,000 and other food items.

“Government has indeed heard you loud and clear, let’s at this point have a rethink and come to the discussion table, especially as opportunities had been opened for dialogue.

“It is better to jaw, jaw than to war, war, without dialogue, we will not have an head way in the situation we currently find ourselves.

“I may be based in the United States, but I am on ground here in Nigeria with you, and I understand your plight and I feel your pains,” Bello said.

He said the Tinubu-led administration had put in place a lot of policies and programmes, including the student’s loan scheme that would greatly benefit youths.

He appealed to youths to tap into such programmes irrespective of party affiliations, saying their protest was appreciated by government as it was allowed in every democracy.

He, however, stressed the need for leaders of the #Endbadgovernance in Nigeria protest to come to the discussion table to have a talk with the Federal Government on ways forward.

This, Bello said was the best way out, rather than going to the streets to protest and destroy government properties and infrastructure.

He assured that government was doing a lot to improve the well being of Nigerians across board irrespective of party affiliations.

He said for instance, the student loan scheme of the Tinubu-led administration compared favourably with some of the historic policies introduced in the 1960s to encourage education in parts of the country.
