Despite widespread concerns over economic hardships caused by his administration’s reforms, President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday assured Nigerians of his commitment to leading the country to the “promised land.”
He expressed confidence in his ability, determination, and competence to build a nation that citizens can be proud of.
President Tinubu also acknowledged the National Assembly’s support over the past 19 months, stating it has bolstered his administration’s resolve to achieve its goals.
The President made these remarks while hosting Vice President Kashim Shettima, National Assembly leaders, and former principal officers at his residence on Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The New Year homage, led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, was followed by a similar visit from members of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).
The President was quoted by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, as saying, “Nigerians are the heart of everything we are doing. We have come to serve. You have made my day by coming on this visit. Happy New Year. May God bless you and our country and give our nation more prosperity.
“The transformative journey we have embarked upon is for all of us. It is for our tomorrow. It is for the future generation. Your commitment will yield that fruit for the babies yet unborn.
“Your commitment to value addition and bringing about the spirit of can do and must do is for all of us together.
“It is for us to build a nation. We have confidence and competence. The enslavers want us to be anything but enslaved people, but we say no. We are determined, we are capable, and we are resolute, and we will be there. We will take Nigeria to that Promised Land with you,” President Tinubu said at the meeting.
Acknowledging the encouragement from the lawmakers, the President pledged to work harder, embrace intellectual inquisitiveness, and make courageous decisions for national development.
“We have a saying in Yoruba that it is only a courageous dog that will capture the animal in the bush,” he added.
Senate President Akpabio commended the President for his courage and commitment to reform and assured him that the National Assembly is firmly behind his administration.
“On this journey of restoration, transformation and rebuilding the nation, you are not alone. The National Assembly is with you and will stand by you,” he said.
