They also called on potential presidential contenders to shelve their ambitions, insisting that Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda remains the most credible path to Nigeria’s prosperity and development.
The caucus—comprising two Senators and seven House of Representatives members, all from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—said their endorsement is based on the tangible achievements recorded under Tinubu’s leadership, describing his agenda as “effective and on course.”
In a statement signed by all caucus members and presented to journalists by Senator Barry Mpigi in Port Harcourt on Saturday, the group lauded Tinubu’s economic initiatives, praising their impact on revitalizing Nigeria’s battered economy.
The statement read:
“We, the members of the National Assembly from Rivers State, comprising Senators and House Representatives, express our profound appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the confidence reposed in our leader, His Excellency Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, through his appointment as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. We are particularly pleased by the President’s open recognition and praise of the Minister’s outstanding achievements, hailing him as the ‘Master of Infrastructure.’
After thoroughly examining the President’s economic strategies under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and considering the widespread decay he inherited on May 29, 2023—including a dire debt situation and rampant inflation caused by the N22.7 trillion Ways and Means overdraft printed by the Central Bank under former President Muhammadu Buhari—we have reached a firm conclusion.
President Tinubu’s economic roadmap represents the most realistic solution to Nigeria’s social and economic challenges. Our review shows that his Renewed Hope Agenda is delivering visible results and holds strong potential to further improve the economic wellbeing of Nigerians, given sufficient time. We are particularly encouraged by the dropping inflation rates, the reduction of the country’s foreign debt burden, and the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) endorsement of promising economic growth forecasts.”
The Rivers State Caucus also thanked President Tinubu for his “swift” intervention in resolving the political crisis in Rivers State, noting that his actions have “initiated the process of peace,” while expressing hopes for a lasting resolution rooted in sincerity and goodwill.
