On President Tinubu’s achievements, The Progressives Group , stated that his first has been dedicated to laying solid foundations and putting the right structures in place.
It stressed: “Key reforms in the economy, infrastructure, and institutional governance are already setting the stage for long-term growth.
“His second term will be more impactful as we move past the initial teething stages and the dividends of these reforms become visible to all Nigerians.”
On security, the group called on all citizens to make security a collective responsibility.
According to it, “See Something, Say Something” must become the nation’s culture.
It added: “Security is not the duty of government alone. We, as a people, must take it seriously by providing timely information, supporting law enforcement, and discouraging acts that threaten peace and order.”
On INEC’s Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and Grassroots Mobilisation, the group said: “To ensure a landslide victory for PBAT and the APC in 2027, we charge the party at all levels to immediately mobilise all ward chairmen and party structures to go to the grassroots and register new voters in the ongoing INEC CVR exercise.
“Lagos must impress Asiwaju with our numbers. The real election is won at the polling unit through massive voter registration and turnout.
“Let every ward, every street, every compound be covered.
“On Inter-Arm Collaboration,
we charge the Senate under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio to maintain a robust and productive working relationship with the Presidency.

“We have no doubt that under his direction, Lagos APC will deliver victory.”
The group implored all APC aspirants who did not emerge this time to remain calm and loyal to the party.
It maintained that there is always another time, adding, “We urge them to work for the party and not bring it down.
“APC’s strength is in unity, and together we will achieve more for Lagos and Nigeria.

“Let us communicate our vision clearly and assure Lagosians and indeed Nigerians of a better future through continuous support for our presidential and governorship candidates and all other party representatives.
“Together, we will build a stronger Nigeria and a greater Lagos.
