Tinubu Vows to Create Wealth for All Nigerians, Says No Excuses for Poverty

President Bola Tinubu has pledged to work hard with purpose and determination to create wealth for all Nigerians, saying he is not a President that gives excuses for poverty, insecurity or under-development.

He made this promise while receiving a 62-man delegation of Rivers State stakeholders, comprising leaders from the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), at the State House, Abuja.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President said he is confident that Nigeria can overcome its challenges and achieve its potential, given its enormous human capacity and natural resource wealth.

He assured the visitors that under his leadership, the country will witness a positive and permanent change in its narrative of backwardness.

The President told the delegation that he will not look back, but will run aggressively forward to change the fortunes of the country. He said he is inspired by the nation of people he now leads, and he will not disappoint their expectations.

He also said he will be a good neighbour and a brother’s keeper to all Nigerians, regardless of their ethnic, religious or political affiliations.

The President acknowledged the contributions of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who is one of his most trusted allies and a former governor of Rivers State.

He said Wike has left big shoes to fill for the new Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and assured that Rivers State will always have direct access to him in their joint march toward sustainable development.

The President also addressed the issue of infrastructure development in Rivers State, especially the Eleme Junction-Onne axis of the East-West Road, linking the Port Harcourt Refinery. He said he has heard the cries of prominent Rivers sons on the matter, and he has instructed the FCT Minister to follow up on it for prompt action.

The President advised the younger generation to be more patient with the processes of government, saying he is the Captain and Chief Salesman of the country.

He said he has to reverse the trend and achieve possibilities within a short period of time. He prayed to God to put him on the right path and guide him in his decisions.
