Ben Murray-Bruce, a former Senator and media entrepreneur, has announced his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and economic reforms as key reasons.
In a statement on Wednesday, Murray-Bruce praised Tinubu’s vision for Nigeria’s future, describing him as a leader with a deep understanding of governance, finance, and nation-building.
Murray-Bruce said his decision was driven by conviction, not politics, and that he believes Tinubu’s leadership will deliver a better Nigeria.
He commended Tinubu’s economic reforms, including deregulation of the petroleum sector and restructuring of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as necessary steps towards long-term prosperity.
Murray-Bruce highlighted Tinubu’s infrastructural drive, citing expansion of road networks, modernization of ports and airports, and affordable housing schemes as evidence of renewed commitment to national development.
He also praised the administration’s efforts in national security and foreign policy, noting that the appointment of a new National Security Adviser had improved Nigeria’s safety architecture.
Murray-Bruce expressed optimism that the Tinubu administration would achieve “phenomenal growth” by the end of its two-term tenure, saying, “Mark my words: in the full term of eight years, Nigeria will witness phenomenal growth. I choose to stand with that vision. I choose to stand with reform. I choose to stand with the future”.
