VIDEO: President Tinubu Sends New Message To Nigerians Amid EndBadGovernance Protest
President Tinubu has sent a new message to Nigerians amid the ongoing EndBadGovernance Protest.
Newsone Nigeria reports that President Bola Ahmed appealed to Nigerians on Wednesday, 7, 2024, to be patient with his administration, ensuring the country is about to enter a new dawn.
This online news platform understands that the President who appealed to Nigerians in a new video published on the micro-blogging site, X formerly known as Twitter, acknowledged the hardship Nigerians are going through due to fuel subsidy removal.
The Nigerian leader also admitted that an avoidable lag between subsidy removal and his good and helpful plans compounded Nigerians’ pains.
President Tinubu said: “Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us and there’s no doubt that it is tough on us but I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture. All our good and helpful plans are in the works. More importantly, I know that they will work. Sadly, there was an avoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully online,” he said.
The president assured that the measures his government has taken would get the country out of the lingering economic crisis, urging Nigerians to have faith in his administration.
“I plead with you, please, have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your well-being. We will get out of this turbulence and due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.
“For example, we shall fulfill our promise to make education more affordable to all and provide loans to higher education students who may need them. No Nigerian students will have to abandon the higher education system because of lack of money.
“Our commitment is to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of our people. On principle, we shall never falter, I assure you, my fellow countrymen and women, that we are exiting the darkness to enter a new and glorious dawn. Now, I must get back to work to make this vision come true”, he added.
