Speaking at the high-profile launch event held at the NAF Conference Centre in Abuja, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, praised Alhaji Lamido as a courageous, consistent, and principled politician whose personal journey reflects Nigeria’s democratic evolution.

“This is not merely the unveiling of a book,” the Minister said, “it is the celebration of a life defined by courage, consistency, and commitment to democratic ideals. Alhaji Sule Lamido, though a staunch member of the political opposition and often a critic of the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), remains one of the strong pillars of Nigeria’s political evolution,” he said.

President Tinubu, through the Minister of Information and National Orientation, highlighted the importance of a democratic culture where opposition is not viewed as enmity but as a healthy exchange of ideas.

He emphasized that every citizen, regardless of political affiliation, has a role in national discourse.

The Minister praised Lamido’s decade-long effort in writing the book as a testament to his resilience and dedication to preserving political memory. He urged other political veterans to follow suit and document their experiences for future generations.

Drawing parallels between Lamido and Tinubu, Idris noted that both leaders are committed to being true to themselves and upholding Nigeria’s core ideals of truth, justice, peace, and prosperity.

Reflecting on the current administration’s achievements as Nigeria approaches the 26th anniversary of the Fourth Republic and the second year of the Tinubu presidency, Idris discussed the ongoing reforms, which have started to yield positive macroeconomic outcomes.

“Are we saying that we are where we need to be and that there isn’t room for more work to be done? Certainly not. What we are saying is simple: that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated uncommon audacity and vision to set Nigeria on the path of true growth and development. And, after a somewhat rocky start, owing to the toughness of the inevitable reforms, we are now entering an era of intended beneficial outcomes, underlined by macroeconomic stability,” he said.

On national security, Idris assured that President Tinubu is leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to protect our citizens and the nation’s territorial integrity from terrorist elements. “We want to therefore emphasize the need to appreciate the sacrifice of the Nigerian military in this regard,” he stated.

The Minister said the Tax Bills, initiated by the President, are aimed at growing revenues for governments at all levels, to foster national development, while also taking care to not impose additional burdens on taxpayers.

“President welcomes constructive criticism at all times, in the spirit of freedom of speech and democratic engagement, but he will also never allow himself to be distracted from doing what is right for Nigeria,” the Minister said
