Tinubu pleads with Nigerians, reassures that his policies will work

The president spoke with Nigerians again after his first speech received a lot of backlash.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pleaded with Nigerians to exercise patience with his administration, assuring Nigerians that the country is about to witness a new dawn.

The president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria said this in an official video released by the state house on Wednesday, where he acknowledged the hardship Nigerians are going through.

Tinubu assured Nigerians that the hardship, which has led to the #Endbadgovernance protests, will soon come to an end. He urged Nigerians to exercise patience as he believes the policies his administration has put in place will benefit them in the long run.

The president also admitted that an “avoidable lag” between subsidy removal and his “good and helpful plans” compounded Nigerians’ pains.

He said, “Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us, and there’s no doubt that it is tough on us, but I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture. All our good and helpful plans are in the works. More importantly, I know that they will work. Sadly, there was an avoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully online”

“I plead with you, please, have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your well-being. We will get out of this turbulence and due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.

“For example, we shall fulfill our promise to make education more affordable to all and provide loans to higher education students who may need them. No Nigerian students will have to abandon hthe igher education system because of la ack of money.

“Our commitment is to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of our people. On principle, we shall never falter, I assure you, my fellow countrymen and women, that we are exiting the darkness to enter a new and glorious dawn. Now, I must get back to work to make this vision come true.”
