President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to building a stable, peaceful, and prosperous nation, assuring that the well-being of Nigerians remains his top priority.
Tinubu stated that the political and economic structures that have long undermined Nigerians’ prosperity are being steadily replaced through the realignment of the economy to enable full participation.
The president said this during a meeting with a delegation of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, April 16, 2026.
He pledged to sustain reforms aimed at creating more opportunities for poor and vulnerable citizens.
Tinubu emphasised that the more citizens participate in shaping their lives and future, the better society will be for generations to come.
He urged the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to continue sensitising and mobilising citizens, especially at the grassroots, on the government’s efforts to improve their livelihoods through economic reforms.
“You represent the conscience of a nation that wants to break the shackles of poverty and hopelessness,” he said.
Tinubu assured that his administration will uphold the tenets of democracy, including the rule of law, the separation of powers and the rights of all citizens.

Tinubu stated: “We cannot submit to disobedience of a lawful order of the court; we must embrace the judiciary, whether it favours us or not. We submit to this principle of democracy, separation of powers, and understanding of the dynamics of it, and the nationhood that Nigeria is, that we must build one country. That’s what Renewed Hope is all about. You must give them that hope.
“There’s no other path for us to attain national greatness other than to build one common vision for the progress and prosperity of our people. That is what we must do.”
The president reiterated that his government is guided by a clear vision to foster inclusive growth, create opportunities for youth, and ensure that every Nigerian – regardless of background or region – has a stake in the country’s future.
Tinubu also urged Nigerians not to be discouraged by the misinformation championed by the opposition in the country.
He said the great accomplishments witnessed in modern times were achieved through visionary leadership, assuring that Nigeria is in safe hands.
