Obasa Felicitates President Tinubu @ 74, says Renewed Hope Agenda is steering Nigeria toward stability and prosperity
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 74th birthday, commending him for fulfilling his Renewed Hope Agenda promises to Nigerians.
Speaker Obasa’s birthday message is contained in a statement signed by Adeshina Oyetayo, his Special Adviser on Research, Media, and Documentation.
Speaker Obasa described the President as a purposeful and pragmatic leader whose commitment to enthroning a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria should be appreciated by all
“Mr. President, today should be a national day of celebration honouring your selfless and visionary leadership.
“I commend your courage and conviction to initiate and implement necessary economic reforms that have pulled Nigeria out of the doldrums, stabilized the nation, and set it on the path of prosperity.”
Speaker Obasa said that those otherwise painful reforms are now being hailed as ingenious and effective worldwide, citing a January 2026 article in the influential The Economist magazine titled “Nigeria’s economy may be back from the brink.”
The article acknowledged that President Tinubu’s reforms are beginning to yield bountiful returns as evidenced in the easing of headline inflation for the 11th consecutive month, unification of the foreign exchange market, and foreign reserves rising to $46billion.
Notably, the article also referenced the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s upgraded 4.4% GDP growth forecast for 2026 despite global headwinds, while stating unequivocally that Nigeria’s golden years will return under President Tinubu.
Speaker Obasa said that this submission by an international journal signifies that Nigeria is in safe hands under President Tinubu. He, therefore, urged Nigerians to rally round him and support his re-election bid, promising that the gains of the Renewed Hope agenda will reach every household.
“Our prayer is that the Almighty will grant our dear President long life in robust health and the strength and wisdom to help him achieve the Nigeria of our collective dreams,” Speaker Obasa concluded.
