President Tinubu Assures Nigerians of his Commitment to National Development

iexclusivenews – President Bola Tinubu has reassured Nigerians that his administration is dedicated to delivering tangible results and making improvements in the nation’s infrastructure, food and energy security, and education system.

Speaking at a meeting with the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, led by former Senate President Ken Nnamani, President Tinubu emphasized that his tenure is not for personal enrichment but for the service of the country.

President Tinubu’s Commitment to Service

This online news media gathered that in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu was quoted saying;

“I didn’t come to look for money and exploit the situation; I came to work. I asked for the votes, and Nigerians gave them to me.”

The President, who is also a former senator, made these remarks during a session filled with banter and handshakes with his former parliamentary colleagues.

The meeting was attended by 16 former presiding officers, including former Senate Presidents, former Speakers of the House of Representatives, former Deputy Senate Presidents, and former Deputy Speakers of the House of Representatives.

President Tinubu acknowledged the support and encouragement from the Forum members, regardless of party affiliations, and urged them to continue fostering unity and camaraderie to achieve national development goals.

President Tinubu on National Challenges

Reflecting on the complex nature of legislative activities, constitutional reviews, and nation-building processes, President Tinubu expressed confidence that Nigeria can progress through collaboration and inclusiveness.

“Regardless of party differences of the past and difficulty of the present, you still believe in me and what we all plan for this country,” he said.

He highlighted the importance of addressing the root causes of the nation’s challenges, including neglecting communities and failing to provide a good standard of living.

“We neglected our communities; we neglected the goose that lays the golden eggs; we forgot even to give them a good standard of living. We forgot to educate our children. Go round and look at the dilapidated schools. The education environment must be decent enough for pupils to want to learn,” President Tinubu stated.

President Tinubu’s Vision for Nigeria

President Tinubu outlined his administration’s focus on improving infrastructure, ensuring compliance with financial regulations, exploring alternative energy sources, and providing energy security. “We have come a long way, and I promise we must do our best,” he said.

He urged the former presiding officers to continue sharing their wealth of experience in nation-building and governance, noting that they were uniquely positioned to provide “clear interpretations of where we are” to Nigerians.

Tinubu’s call for collaboration and inclusiveness reflects his commitment to addressing the nation’s pressing challenges through collective efforts.

Senator Ken Nnamani, speaking on behalf of the delegation, expressed full support for President Tinubu’s administration and its efforts to tackle Nigeria’s pressing issues.

He noted that the meeting was the President’s first official engagement with the group since assuming office and congratulated him on his leadership.

“Mr. President, history has never been the burden of one man alone, but some are called to meet a special share of its challenges. Though not of your creation, it has fallen onto you to end the pervasive insecurity across the nation, the economic downturn that has resulted in hunger and anger, infrastructural decay due to years of neglect, and myriads of other national challenges,” Nnamani said.
