₦airaland Forum

The president made this statement in Enugu on Saturday during a meeting with stakeholders from the south-east geopolitical zone.

DAILY POST reports that the president was in Enugu to commission projects initiated by the state governor, Peter Mbah.

The projects commissioned include 30 smart green schools, 60 completed type 2 primary health centres, and the 19-kilometre Airport-New Haven–Bisalla and Okpara Square roads.

At the meeting, the president told the south-east stakeholders that the removal of petrol subsidy was necessary to build the nation and protect the interests of future generations.

Tinubu said he understands the difficult nature of his work before contesting the 2023 elections.

"You are all members of one big, huge family called Nigeria but living in different rooms in the same house.

“This house, we must build it. Build it to satisfy our immediate need, which is not going to be enough yet but for tomorrow too. That is why the removal of the first subsidy was necessary.

“You cannot spend the future of generations yet unborn in advance. Don’t bankrupt the nation before they are born.

"I know people will fight, grumble, and abuse me, and everything, but I asked for the job. I know what it takes. I believe in myself, and I believe I can gather a very good team and build a nation.

“It is our country. We have to work really hard for it to build a nation that we can be proud of. Change the narrative—negative comment about Nigeria.

“I’m not taking that (negative comment). I’m very proud of Nigeria. You all should be proud of Nigeria,” he said.

KevMitnick:
A lot of people generate their own electricity either via solar inverters or biomass. Does it mean government should abandon a providing a utility service as basic as providing electricity? Are people not paying their light bill? Your logic is just bad. Na wa for you oh.
You support nonsense for reasons best known to you, it's your right though.

SoftSport:
President Tinubu's commitment to making tough decisions for the nation's long-term growth is commendable, even in the face of criticism.

Building a prosperous Nigeria requires bold leadership and collective effort from all citizens.
