President Bola Tinubu hailed as Nigeria's Lee Kuan Yew by Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State praised President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms at a state dinner in Owerri, likening the president to Singapore’s founding leader Lee Kuan Yew. Uzodimma said the reforms have boosted state revenues, enabling investments in roads, healthcare, education, and digital infrastructure, and expressed confidence that Tinubu will be re‑elected in 2027. He highlighted the "Renewed Hope Agenda" as the catalyst for Imo’s transformation and urged the media to support the reforms.

President Tinubu, speaking at a State House Press Corps dinner, reaffirmed his commitment to a free press, stressing responsible reporting and the need to combat misinformation. Separate endorsements echoed the sentiment, with Ebonyi indigenes in Abuja and Kaduna Governor Uba Sani urging strong voter support for Tinubu in the upcoming election, citing infrastructure projects and fiscal reforms.

The combined statements reflect broad political backing for Tinubu’s agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
