Tinubu’s Achievements Under-reported- Dalori

The Acting National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Hon. (Dr) Ali Bukar Dalori, on Friday, said that the president Bola Tinubu’s achievements were underreported.

Dalori, who boasted that the president have achievements tremendously well within the space of two years, said there was the need for those achievements to be properly disseminated to the masses through the mass media.

Speaking at a one-day capacity building workshop organised by the party for Zonal and State Publicity Secretaries of the party in Abuja, on Friday, the APC acting national Chairman, accused the opposition of playing politics with everything including national security, and the welfare of the masses as well as inciting the people against the President.

Describing the workshop as timely, Dalori commended the APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, for organising the seminar, saying it would go a long way in raising the consciousness of the party spokesmen on the sensitivity of the achievements of the present administration and the need to convey them to their people in their respective localities.

He described the initiative as a crucial step towards strengthening democratic engagement and reinforcing the party’s communication architecture at the grassroots level.

Dalori praised President Tinubu’s implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda, noting its positive impact on the media and public communication space.

He emphasized that the administration’s strategic messaging had played a key role in countering misinformation and opposition narratives.

He also appreciated the commitment of the Zonal and State Publicity Secretaries in attendance, urging them to remain proactive, consistent, and responsive in delivering accurate and compelling messages about the administration’s development strides.

He encouraged direct engagement with local communities, stressing the importance of clear and relatable communication.

Echoing similar views, National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Ajibola Basiru, decried what he described as a sustained narrative to paint the present administration in bad light by opposition figures who deliberately spin falsehood.

According to him, “before the 2023 election, we have seen the weaponisation of falsehood as an instrument of politics in Nigeria. People will go and pick images from Somalia, images from Chad, images from where there is war, and put an address to it in Nigeria in order to create misinformation.

“We also have a situation where people who have had the opportunity of governing the sub-national, and without any achievement beyond establishment of beer factory will come and be telling us what happened in China, in Malaysia, when at their backyard, their community is ravaged with floods, and they did not put a single school building for 8 years of administration.”

He therefore challenged spokespersons of the party at the states and Zonal level to fashion out strategies on how to communicate the achievements of the APC-led administration.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, in his presentation, urged the spokesmen of the party to educate Nigerians on these accomplishments.

Onanuga noted that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration is not just a slogan.

“We need to leverage more, especially at the grassroots, and to share to our people what this government is doing to improve the lots of Nigerians. Our Renewed Hope Agenda is not just a slogan. It is real and becoming a reality.”

The presidential spokesperson who enumerated the achievements of the administration, maintained that “under the present government, the economy is picking up and a lot of confidence had been built on the administration.”

APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, equally urged participants at the seminar to continue educating Nigerians on the government’s achievements and the impact on the people.

He maintained that Nigerians are ignorant of the laudable achievements of the present administration and tasked the spokespersons of the responsibility to inform the public.
