Ex-Coker-Aguda chair Akinyemi-Obe, party faithful pray for Tinubu

“He has given his all, investing in people—especially the youth—while prioritising social welfare and healthcare. He wants every Nigerian, particularly the vulnerable, to be seen, valued, and well catered for,” she said.

The NSCC boss highlighted the president’s commitment to the welfare of senior citizens, noting efforts to protect elderly persons from abuse while ensuring their access to proper nutrition, dignity, and social inclusion.

According to her, initiatives such as interfaith and intergenerational inclusion programmes are helping to bridge the gap between the elderly and younger generations, allowing for the transfer of wisdom, values, and life experiences.

“The elderly have a wealth of knowledge that the younger generation needs. By integrating them into national development, we are building a more self-reliant and confident society,” she added.

Addressing concerns among some young Nigerians about the president’s age and leadership style, Akinyemi-Obe urged patience and openness to guidance from older generations.

“The Gen Zs of today will become the older generation in the next few decades. If they fail to learn from those ahead of them, they risk losing direction. Experience matters and the counsel of elders is essential for a balanced life,” she said.

She emphasised the importance of responsibility, diligence, and resilience, values she said the president continues to promote among Nigerian youths.

On the administration’s education reforms, she pointed to the student loan initiative as evidence of the president’s commitment to expanding access to education while maintaining accountability.

“He wants young Nigerians to be educated and globally competitive. At the same time, he encourages vocational skills, because education without practical ability limits productivity,” she noted.

Reacting to political opposition and speculations ahead of the 2027 elections, Akinyemi-Obe dismissed claims of any coordinated effort to unseat President Tinubu, expressing confidence in his leadership and divine backing.

“No one can undermine a leader whose path is guided by faith. Ultimately, it is God who determines leadership outcomes,” she said.

She also expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic trajectory, citing improvements in fiscal management and growing international recognition as signs of recovery and future prosperity.

Akinyemi-Obe concluded that with sustained reforms and inclusive policies, Nigeria is on course to becoming a thriving entrepreneurial nation, where young people will play a central role in driving innovation and economic growth.
