President Bola Tinubu says his government is correcting the mistakes of past administrations and should be re-elected to finish the “good work”.
Tinubu spoke on Friday through Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, during a special prayer session held at the
National Mosque in Abuja to commemorate Nigeria’s 66th Independence
Anniversary.
Tinubu said peace and development are gradually returning to
the country.
“This anniversary—the 66th—by all accounts signifies Nigeria
has come of age,” he said.
“The person of 66 years cannot be called a child anymore.
Nigeria has become mature, even though when we reflect on the journey from
independence to date, we may say it was a mixed journey.
“Nigeria was bedevilled with a lot of issues in the past and
opportunities as well. But we thank Almighty Allah for granting us the life and
the peace for us to witness this very historic event today.
“My message to the country on behalf of the Mr president,
the senate president and all members of the national assembly is that the
citizens should not lose hope. Peace is coming back to this country.
Development is coming back to this country. Things will get better as we
progress in this democracy.
“More importantly, citizens should look at the focus of the
government of today, that the mistakes of the past—the cumulative mistakes and
the missed opportunities of the past—are being corrected in this particular
administration.
“And I want to categorically make it clear that Nigeria is
on the right path; that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that
Nigerians have finished making sacrifices for this country to be great again.
“We should give this government more opportunity for it to
come back and finish the good work [it has started].”
Senior government officials, including Barau Jibrin, deputy
senate president; state governors; national assembly members; ministers; George
Akume, secretary to the government of the federation; and military chiefs,
attended the event.
