The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Dr Adegboyega Oyetola, has explained why the party has thrown its full weight behind the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term.
In a statement issued yesterday by his Special Adviser, Dr Bolaji Akinola, the minister said the endorsement was based on performance, courage and a vision for Nigeria’s future.
He said President Tinubu took difficult but necessary decisions at the outset of his administration to rescue the nation’s economy from the brink of collapse.
Dr Oyetola pointed to key reforms introduced by the President, including bold fiscal and monetary measures aimed at stabilising the economy, attracting foreign investment and restoring confidence in Nigeria’s financial system.
He said the President’s policies were already yielding positive results, with improved revenue generation and greater transparency in public finance.

The former governor of Osun State also highlighted Tinubu’s focus on infrastructure development across the country, noting ongoing investments in roads, rail, ports and energy.
He said the administration’s emphasis on expanding various sectors of the economy was opening up new opportunities for job creation and sustainable economic growth.
On social welfare, the minister commended the president’s efforts to cushion the impact of economic reforms through targeted intervention programmes, student loan initiatives and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
He said the measures demonstrated that the administration was not only reform-minded, but also compassionate.
He expressed confidence that the APC governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, would secure victory in Osun State election scheduled for August 15.
