President Bola Tinubu has said that the worst was over for the country and her people, assuring that the masses would soon begin to experience prosperity. The President, who stressed that governance must be transformative and address critical needs of the people, gave the assurance yesterday at a meeting with Yoruba Leaders of Thought at the Presidential Villa.
According to a release by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President also called for a more effective local government system that fosters community development and delivers the essentials of governance within a strengthened federal structure. Commenting on his stewardship in the last one year, Tinubu said “It has been challenging. It has been fulfilling as well. We took over, and we have stopped the bleeding.
I can say categorically now that Nigeria is no longer bleeding. And it will not bleed to death, but rather will now move to prosperity. That is the promise that I made to you all, and it is also the charge that you gave to me.
“We are managing to swim through the pond. The current is not a good one. We will turn the tide. We are turning the bend. This I assure you. I am being very careful. The worst is over for Nigeria. We will prevail.
“I thank the team who have been working really hard. All I can promise is that we will do whatever it takes. We are determined, and we will work so that all Nigerians can feel the impact of good governance” He assured Nigerians that his administration would ensure they get value for every kobo spent, and that his government would leave a lasting legacy of prosperity to future generations, while removing the yoke of poor governance and expanding access to qualitative public goods.
