Nigerians have no reason to be poor; we are not lazy people – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigerians are not lazy people and that that they are richly endowed.

Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, September 14, when he received a 62-man delegation of both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party.

In a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelali, President Tinubu vowed to work hard for our nation with purpose, determination, and dedication to create wealth for all Nigerians.

According to Tinubu, Nigerians have no reason to be poor as they are hardworking people.

In his remark, he prayed that God to put me on the right path, not to disappoint Nigerians who have high expectations for him.

“We are not lazy people. We are richly endowed. We just need to be our brother’s keeper, and good neighbours to one another. I am not a President that will give excuses. I will work hard for our nation with purpose, determination, and dedication to create wealth for all Nigerians. We have no reason to be poor! We will not look back; we will run aggressively forward.

Today, we may be swimming against the tide. But the waves will soon propel us forward from behind. We will achieve the goals and dreams of our forefathers. I am inspired by the nation of people I now lead.

“I am the Captain and Chief Salesman of the country. We have to reverse the trend and achieve possibilities within a short period of time.

“Our people have high expectations for us. I pledge to work hard, and I pray to God to put me on the right path, not to disappoint Nigerians,” President Tinubu said.
