Nigeria is crawling, I’ll make it walk – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has asserted that Nigeria is still crawling and he will ensure that the nation walks while he’s heading the country.
Since he assumed office, things have got worse as he removed subsidy, which enabled Nigerians to afford petroleum. But the president has once again assured Nigerians that the country would walk like its contemporaries.
The president made the assurance when he was meeting the German chancellor Olaf Scholz at the presidential villa, Abuja on Sunday. The chancellor was in Abuja at a time the biggest European economy is looking for ways to get affordable energy.
Bola Tinubu told the visitor, “I know Germany has advanced a lot in protecting the environment and modernising energy to meet the 21st century needs both of the world and Europe in particular.”
He admitted that Nigeria is crawling, and that his administration is determined to changing the story. He declared, “Nigeria is still crawling, but we are determined to change the narrative and bring about a transformative government in the country.
“It is a profound pleasure for me to welcome my friend Olaf Scholz to Nigeria. It is a joy to see you here. At this particular period of time. It was just about a few days ago that the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had a final say on our electoral exercise.
The distraction is over. This gives us more time to focus on governance for the people and moving Nigeria forward for economic opportunities and prosperity that will defend democracy.
“In our last tete-a-tete, you made a promise that you would be visiting Nigeria and thank you and your delegation for keeping that promise. It is an honor for me to see you here.”
