I’m Not Oblivious To Your Frustration, Our Spirit Must Remain Unbowed – Tinubu Tells Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu urged Nigerians to be united and support his administration as it works to build a better nation and a Nigerian society that cares for all citizens.
Tinubi noted he was aware that conversations in town have centred on the rising cost of living and high inflation which is now above 28%.
The President who said he was not oblivious to the frustrations of the citizens, said Nigerians’ spirit must remain unbowed as tough times never last.
He made this known in his New Year message broadcast to Nigerians on Monday.
According to him, “I am well aware that for some time now the conversations and debates have centred on the rising cost of living, high inflation which is now above 28% and the unacceptable high under-employment rate.
“From the boardrooms at Broad Street in Lagos to the main streets of Kano and Nembe Creeks in Bayelsa, I hear the groans of Nigerians who work hard every day to provide for themselves and their families.
“I am not oblivious to the expressed and sometimes unexpressed frustrations of my fellow citizens. I know for a fact that some of our compatriots are even asking if this is how our administration wants to renew their hope.
“Dear Compatriots, take this from me: the time may be rough and tough, however, our spirit must remain unbowed because tough times never last. We are made for this period, never to flinch, never to falter.
“The socio-economic challenges of today should energize and rekindle our love and faith in the promise of Nigeria. Our current circumstances should make us resolve to work better for the good of our beloved nation.
“Our situation should make us resolve that this new year 2024, each and every one of us will commit to be better citizens.”
