Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, says the All Progressives Congress, APC, administration never promised Nigerians instant miracles.

Speaking at the launch of a new seven-kilometre road and bridge in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Friday, Akpabio said the government pledged to deliver ‘structural, calculated and deliberate progress’ through President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.

His remark comes at a time when many Nigerians are complaining over the high cost of living, which has been largely caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy and other recent government policies.

The Senate President claimed that the administration is executing its long-term approach to governance.

"When we came into office, we did not promise you miracles that would appear from thin air. We promised structural, calculated and deliberate progress.

“We promised a Renewed Hope Agenda that will touch the lives of every Nigerian citizen, not just in economic statistics but in the reality of their daily struggles,” he said.
