ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Senate President Godswill Akpabio has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s administration, urging them to pray for his success despite current challenges.
Speaking at the flag-off of the Kugbo Bus Terminal in Abuja, Akpabio expressed confidence that with citizen support, the government will achieve its goals.
He praised Tinubu’s commitment to the welfare of FCT residents and hailed the appointment of Nyesom Wike as FCT Minister.
Akpabio noted that the project will help decongest traffic, tackle insecurity, and improve the city’s economy, drawing parallels with Tinubu’s achievements in Lagos.
He expressed his belief that Tinubu’s administration will transform Nigeria, making it unrecognizable in seven years. He encouraged Nigerians to remain hopeful and supportive, assuring that the current challenges will soon be overcome.

“I have no doubt that by the time the president is through with his tenure in the country, seven years from today, many people will not recognise FCT, they will not recognise Nigeria again,” Akpabio said on Tuesday.
“So, all I can say is: let us continue to pray for him and be hopeful that the challenges you see today, tomorrow, you will see them no more.”
Wike thanked Tinubu and the National Assembly for their support, promising that no projects will be abandoned in the FCT. He highlighted the terminal’s potential to reduce insecurity and improve transportation safety.
The Kugbo Bus Terminal flag-off signifies the government’s dedication to enhancing the lives of FCT residents and visitors.
Akpabio’s call for support and prayer underscores the importance of unity and cooperation in achieving the administration’s vision for Nigeria.
Wike said, “But when this is completed, what it means is that you have access to the place whether it is raining or not, you are sure of being conveyed on vehicles you can identify: you know who is the one in charge of the vehicle and it would take you to safely to wherever you are going.
“Again, it would reduce the incidences of one-chance [kidnappers parading private cars],” he said, arguing that, “in that case, it reduces insecurity”.
