We are not poor nor lazy – Tinubu hails Nigerians amid economic hardship

President Bola Tinubu has praised the hard work and resourcefulness of Nigerians while addressing the challenges facing the nation.

He reiterated his commitment to improving the country’s situation and leading it towards prosperity.

Tinubu expressed these sentiments during a meeting with a delegation of 62 leaders from both the ruling APC and the opposition PDP.

He also promised to diligently work towards creating wealth for Nigerians and ending their suffering.

The Rivers stakeholders expressed their gratitude to Tinubu for appointing individuals from their state, including Governor Wike, and commended his efforts to uplift Nigeria.

“We are not lazy people. We are richly endowed. We just need to be our brother’s keeper, and good neighbors to one another” presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale quoted his principal as saying.

“I will work hard for our nation with purpose, determination, and dedication to create wealth for all Nigerians. We have no reason to be poor! We will not look back, we will run aggressively forward.”

“Today, we may be swimming against the tide. But the waves will soon propel us forward from behind. We will achieve the goals and dreams of our forefathers. I am inspired by the nation of people I now lead,” the former Lagos State governor added.

The Nigerian leader who said people trust him to turn the tide assured of his government’s resolve to fulfill its promises to the country.

“I am the Captain and Chief Salesman of the country. We have to reverse the trend and achieve possibilities within a short period,” President Tinubu said.

“Our people have high expectations for us. I pledge to work hard, and I pray to God to put me on the right path, not to disappoint Nigerians,” he said.
