The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the full repayment of Nigeria’s debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), describing it as a landmark financial victory and a bold symbol of Nigeria’s renewed economic sovereignty.
In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Valentine Onojeghuo Esq., and made available to the press on Thursday, the Delta APC commended the Tinubu administration for what it termed “a strategic reset of Nigeria’s economic narrative,” affirming that the President has “restored the dignity of the Nigerian nation and positioned her as a re-emerging economic powerhouse.”
“The All Progressives Congress (APC), Delta State under the chairmanship of Elder Omeni Sobotie, proudly extends its warmest congratulations to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, on the remarkable economic milestones achieved under his visionary Renewed Hope Agenda,” the statement declared.
The statement highlighted that the repayment of the IMF debt, which led to Nigeria’s removal from the list of indebted countries, was not just a financial transaction, but a “defining moment” in the Tinubu administration’s efforts to re-engineer the economy.
“This singular accomplishment, under the firm and competent stewardship of President Tinubu, is not only a financial triumph but a powerful statement of Nigeria’s resurgence as a sovereign economic powerhouse,” the party noted.
The statement further emphasized the ripple effect of the President’s bold economic actions, stating: “These decisive fiscal disciplines, bold monetary policies and sweeping diversification efforts have sparked unprecedented economic growth, reinvigorated our productive sectors and repositioned Nigeria as a destination of choice for global investment.”
According to the party, these policies are “not abstract projections; they are felt daily in communities across our nation.”
Delta APC also used the moment to stress that President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda has birthed “initiatives that support local enterprise, agricultural expansion, digital innovation, infrastructure renewal and youth empowerment,” adding that the economic transformation is both measurable and people-oriented.
