Amalgamated All Progressive Congress (APC) Support Group has called on Nigerians to be patient, assuring that the country is on the right path under the current administration.
The group also called on the President to create more incentives to encourage women entrepreneurship at the grassroots to support the poverty alleviation programme under the renewed hope agenda.
A frontline aspirant for the position of the Director-General of the group, Alhaji Salman Akorede, made this call yesterday at a press conference on the first year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Akorede said that the group recognises that the first 12 months have been turbulent, given the very bold steps that the administration has taken in the formulations and implementation of very tough economic reform policies.

He said, ‘’We must also admit that the inflation rates are still very high, thus skyrocketing the prices of essential commodities almost beyond affordability, this must be addressed as quickly as possible, to bring some succour to the masses who are most hit by the attendant hardships
“While we acknowledge some improvement in the area of security, there’s much more to be done to curb the menace of bandits and armed robbery that are still wreaking havoc in many communities across the nation
