Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, Chairman, Senate Public Accounts Committee, has said that President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is truly working, giving back hope to the hopeless in the society.

Senator Wadada stated during the official commissioning of a resettlement city for concerned persons in Pyanko, Keffi on Saturday.

According to the lawmaker, the essence of governance is not anything else than caring for the lives and properties of the people.

He added that by resettling internally displaced persons, President Tinubu is giving hope to the hopeless.

“We are gathered here today to celebrate a milestone achievement enveloped under the mantra of renewed hope, steered by our President, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. To the government of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, we applaud it, and we commend it. Governance or leadership is not anything else than caring for the lives of the citizens and their properties. But the most important thing is the lives of the citizens, particularly citizens who have lost hope. Because anybody that is internally displaced is hopeless. This is giving hope to the hopeless. The renewed hope is truly working,” he said.
