Nigeria Is No Longer “Bleeding”, We Are Prospering – President Tinubu Assures Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has said that his administration has in the last 12 months stopped the “bleeding” experienced across the country.

Tinubu, who said this while receiving a delegation of the Yoruba Leaders of Thought at the State House on Friday, May 24, also emphasized that governance must be transformative and address citizens’ critical needs.

A statement released by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, read;

“It has been challenging. It has been fulfilling as well. We took over, and we stopped the bleeding. I can say categorically now that Nigeria is no longer bleeding. And it will not bleed to death, but rather will now move to prosperity. That is the promise that I made to you all, and it is also the charge that you gave to me.

“We are managing to swim through the pond. The current is not a good one. We will turn the tide. We are turning the bend. This I assure you. I am being very careful. The worst is over for Nigeria. We will prevail.

“I thank the team who have been working really hard. All I can promise is that we will do whatever it takes. We are determined, and we will work so that all Nigerians can feel the impact of good governance.”

The President assured Nigerians that his administration will ensure they get value for every kobo spent, and that his government will leave a lasting legacy of prosperity to future generations while removing the yoke of poor governance and expanding access to qualitative public goods.

He said “We will get value for our money, and it is not for ourselves, but for our children. Our children will not inherit the burden of bad governance. Yet, they will enjoy the prosperity of Nigeria as a blessed nation from our very hands; from our sweat. We will bequeath to them a nation full of pride and prosperity.”
