Responding to inquiries about the government’s performance assessment, Eba urged against premature judgments, emphasizing that it is too early to evaluate the administration’s effectiveness within nine months, despite the party’s previous tenure in power over eight years ago.
The chairmen commended the administration’s economic policies and assured Nigerians of forthcoming meaningful reforms.
Eba also addressed the alarming trend of child kidnappings, particularly in Kaduna State, expressing the Forum’s deep concern. He emphasized the need for accountability among security officials, urging President Tinubu to take decisive actions against those found wanting.
Regarding the crisis in Edo State, Eba clarified that while the issue was discussed during their internal meeting, it was not brought up in their discussions with President Tinubu. He assured that internal party matters would be resolved through dialogue and party leadership interventions.
The Forum, comprising 33 out of 37 members present at the meeting with the President, emphasized their solidarity with the Nigerian leader and their commitment to addressing national challenges. They also shared proposed strategies for tackling the myriad challenges facing the country.
