President Bola Tinubu has said that he asked for the job of leading the nation, and knows what it takes, adding that he can lead the country to its desired destination. The President said this on Saturday, January 4, when he visited Enugu state to commission some projects.

While commissioning the projects, the President said;

“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! I’m very proud of Nigeria. You all should be proud of Nigeria. You are all a member 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, 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.”
