National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari is the foundation for re-engineering and
reinvigorating Nigeria’s economy for a better future.
He also urged Nigerians to
re-elect Buhari in the 2019 election.
Tinubu made the remark in a
statement on Wednesday during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
”Economic development and the
future of the youth are crucial in the growth of any nation and we are taking
care of that”, he said.
”You have to re-grow the economy,
re-engineer it from bottom-up, during that process, it is always very difficult
for ordinary people.
“They bear the brunt of the
economic difficulties because they are in the lower cadre of the society.
”You can only use and depend on
what you have and if you manage to use resources carefully, yes, you end up
enjoying a multiple development in the country and that is why I always
emphasise that foundation matters.
”Foundation is crucially
important. I have listened to the people. I have been in contact with them at
the grassroots.
”Even this house is not spared
too, from demands from the poor and the needy, but without re-growing the
economy, re-tooling, re-engineering the economy, we will not have anything.
”We ate the seed of growth for
breakfast. Therefore, there is nothing for lunch or dinner. Nothing to harvest,
that is what we talk about looters.
”But it will not take a magical
touch to bring it to reality, It takes patience and perseverance. Three years
is not enough time to for retouching, redevelopment and re-engineering the
country.
”There is a lot of hope, there is
a lot of expectation, but when the treasury was empty, when the salaries were
outstanding, when the quality of life is low, what will you do?
”We have oil, they didn’t save
money and we have not diversified the economy. We have eaten our dinner for
breakfast, nothing in the kitchen.
“There is no magic about it. It
takes dedication, commitment and perseverance.
“Yes, we might not be
communicating effectively with the people but we are working to make things
better, ” he said.
Tinubu said the country needs a
focused and determined leader like Buhari to gradually re-engineer the economy
for the benefit of all.
”Nigerians adopted democracy, we
are going to live through this democratic government.
”We need a President Buhari, to
retool and re-engineer, that is what he is doing in the economy and he is doing
it gradually, otherwise we don’t want it to fall apart again.
”Continuity, perseverance, and
endurance, those are what we need. Our determination is progress for the
country and for the people. We can’t go back.
”I am very proud of what I have
done in Lagos to be where it is. We were meticulous, dedicated and focused and
we lifted the spirits of our people and that is why it is important for Nigerians
to be focused now,” he said.
Tinubu urged Nigerians to make
sacrifices, endure, tolerate and forgive one another in the spirit of
Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
”When you pray for forgiveness,
you must be able to give forgiveness if you think you deserve forgiveness.
”Can you ask God to give you what
you cannot give to another fellow human being? That is simple,“ he said.
You are only supporting Buhari in order to cover up your criminal activities, anyway 2019 is around the corner, we shall no who is who when the time come, acquire the whole Lagos and Nigeria, you will surely vomit them IJN, we are not carried away with all your grammars, you don't have any good plan for Nigeria and Nigerians rather you are robbing them with your so called wealth for you and your family.
