When he received members of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives' Congress in Lagos, Tinubu stated: "We must deal with this problem by creating more schools, hiring teachers, and ensuring at least one meal a day for school children. This aligns with the progressive ideology we aim to pursue."

The President, as stated by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, noted that democracy should be progressive and inclusive, with a primary focus on effectively addressing poverty by offering job opportunities for youths and providing quality education for all Nigerian children.

Tinubu, expressing support for the party's establishment of the National Institute of Progressive Studies, mentioned that the Institute is expected to conduct thorough research and educate all party members on the principles of democracy and good governance, while also giving the party a distinct identity.

”We will deliver it. I am committed to supporting a strong and ideologically-determined democracy that is progressive, inclusive, and focused on eliminating poverty while providing quality education for our children.

”Collaboration with various government arms is crucial, and I commend the leadership of our party for working hard to promote these essential ideals.”

He called on the leadership of the party to target more youths and women in its e-registration and digital membership validation exercise scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

”I stand solidly with you in the advancement of the progressive ideological stance of our party and we will pursue it with vigour,” he stated.

President Tinubu thanked members of the party for the overwhelming show of support to him during the campaigns, the electoral victory, and with the affirmation of his presidency by the Supreme Court.

”It has been a while since we have had the opportunity to come together, especially since the Supreme Court ruling. I had hoped for a gathering, but the demanding tasks of my office that we fought for have called for increased focus, dedication and time.

President Tinubu declared:  ”We must address this issue by establishing more schools, recruiting teachers, and providing at least one meal a day for the school children, aligning with the progressive ideology we aim to pursue.”
