Dr. Ogechi Lokpobiri, wife of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and National Coordinator of the Tinubu Health Sector Practitioners Alliance (TIHSEPA), has urged Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. She made the call in Abuja while speaking with journalists on behalf of TIHSEPA. Lokpobiri emphasized the need for Nigerians to remain committed to the administration's reform agenda, which she believes is necessary for repositioning the country and promoting sustainable development.
According to Lokpobiri, the reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration have begun to reshape critical sectors of the economy and could position Nigeria for greater relevance in the global community. While acknowledging that some of the reforms had created short-term challenges for citizens, she said they should be viewed against the broader objective of addressing longstanding structural problems and laying a stronger foundation for economic growth.
Lokpobiri urged Nigerian women to participate actively in the nation's political and development processes, noting that they had a significant role to play in determining the country's future. She called on women across the country to mobilise peacefully in support of government programmes aimed at improving healthcare delivery, strengthening social interventions, empowering families and creating opportunities for citizens.
The TIHSEPA coordinator also commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her interventions targeting women, children, vulnerable Nigerians and other segments of society. She specifically acknowledged the First Lady's Renewed Hope Initiative and other programmes focused on social welfare, healthcare, education and economic empowerment, saying they complemented the Federal Government's broader development agenda.
Lokpobiri said the First Lady's advocacy for women and families underscored the importance of inclusive leadership and greater attention to the welfare of vulnerable Nigerians. She further said TIHSEPA would continue to provide a platform for health-sector practitioners to contribute to national development and support initiatives aimed at improving Nigeria's healthcare system.
According to Lokpobiri, the health sector remains central to national development, as a healthy population is essential for productivity, economic growth and improved living standards. She urged health professionals across the country to remain actively engaged in discussions on healthcare reforms and contribute their expertise towards building a more responsive and accessible healthcare system.
Lokpobiri also appealed to Nigerians to uphold national unity and give the Tinubu administration the opportunity to consolidate its policies and programmes. She expressed optimism that sustained implementation of the Federal Government's reform agenda would create greater opportunities for citizens and strengthen Nigeria's position in the global community.
