“We Have Delivered Change Nigerians Asked For” – Tinubu Boasts As APC Marks 10 Years In Power

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has fulfilled the “change” it promised Nigerians a decade ago, insisting that his administration has steered the nation away from collapse.

Tinubu, who spoke on Tuesday during a book launch and the commissioning of legacy projects in Imo State, dismissed criticisms of his government as “misguided arithmetic” by those who lack an understanding of economic realities.

“Ten years ago, our great party, the APC, came into office with the promise of change. That change is being witnessed here today,” Tinubu said to a rousing applause.

“The old ways brought our nation close to collapse. We broke the jinx. Nigeria is no longer where it was 10 years ago; we have passed that. We promised change, and today I can confidently tell you that the worst is over,” he added.

Taking a swipe at opposition voices, the President said:
“Our critics can say whatever they want because they don’t know any better. Their arithmetic has always been wrong. We understand financial engineering and progressive methodology much better than they do. That is why we are here, delivering results.”

However, while Tinubu painted a picture of transformation, many Nigerians hold a contrasting view. Across the country, voices of discontent have grown louder, with citizens lamenting rising inflation, worsening insecurity, and economic hardship that have defined much of APC’s decade in power.

Observers note that Tinubu’s assertion sets the stage for heated political debates ahead of the 2027 elections, as the ruling party attempts to defend its legacy while the opposition rallies around the growing frustration of ordinary Nigerians.
