President Bola Tinubu says his administration will always partner with states committed to human, social, and economic development.
He spoke on Wednesday through a post on X, a day after hosting Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Tinubu said he agrees with Soludo that those who profess progressive ideals must work together to deepen democracy, strengthen security, and transform the economy.
“We discussed the bold reforms underway, the need to stay the course, and the importance of tackling insecurity through both decisive action and inclusive opportunities for our teeming youth,” the president said.
“Our administration will continue to partner with every state that is serious about human, social, and economic development because Nigeria’s progress is strongest when we work together.
“We will continue to take a bet on our dear country, Nigeria, to ensure sustainable and shared prosperity for the future.”
The Anambra governor arrived for the closed-door meeting wearing a cap emblazoned with Tinubu’s insignia, a red traditional attire, complete with a branded white face cap.
Speaking to State House correspondents afterwards, Soludo described the discussions as “quite pleasant” and said the president is in “robust health and high spirits”.
He also said his friendship with Tinubu spans over two decades and would not be broken by political differences
