Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim, has called on Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Tinubu’s sweeping economic and security reforms, describing the administration’s actions as vital to Nigeria’s stability and long-term national growth.
In a statement issued on Friday, the lawmaker said the President’s policies, ranging from economic restructuring to security reinforcement, require collective national commitment to deliver lasting impact.
Citing global military history, Ibrahim noted that the United States has embarked on 469 military interventions since 1798, with 251 occurring between 1991 and date, emphasizing that strategic action is indispensable for nations seeking to protect their sovereignty and core interests.
“No nation enjoys absolute sovereignty. From pandemics to cross-border threats, global challenges demand collaboration and vigilance,” the senator stated.
He commended Tinubu for initiating decisive steps to strengthen Nigeria’s borders while simultaneously implementing policies aimed at reviving the nation’s economy.
“The President’s vision ensures security, economic expansion, and opportunities for all. Love for our country must guide us through these defining moments,” he added.
Senator Ibrahim further urged Nigerians to demonstrate unity and patriotism, stressing that national cohesion remains crucial for sustainable development, improved security, and Nigeria’s rising influence in global affairs.
“With shared determination and support for ongoing reforms, the country is well-positioned to strengthen its security architecture, grow its economy, and assert itself as a formidable force internationally,” he said.
President Tinubu’s administration has, since May 2023, embarked on far-reaching reforms, including fuel subsidy removal, exchange rate unification, renewed drives for foreign investment, and a comprehensive overhaul of the security structure to combat terrorism, banditry, and other criminal activities.
While the reforms have triggered nationwide debate due to associated short-term hardship, the government insists the measures are necessary trade-offs to stabilise the economy and reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth.
Senator Ibrahim joins several other political leaders who have defended the reforms, urging Nigerians to remain patient and supportive as the policies continue to unfold.
