Says we have no choice, nobody will help us

Declares Wike genuinely serving Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to build a nation for generations unborn.
Tinubu made this call while speaking at the t session of the National Assembly in the House of Representatives Chambers yesterday to mark Nigeria’s 25th anniversary of unbroken democratic rule.

Accompanied by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, among others, the president lauded the federal parliament for its collaboration with his government, evident in the expeditious age of the Budget 2024, adding that the executive and legislature had no other choice than to collaborate.

“Our friends, old and new, to every Nigerian, I say congratulations for 25 years of unbroken democracy. Out of respect, I come to say thank you very much for bringing us to this stage. For building the institution, for building this country.

“You are first and foremost leaders that speak for our people. And you have been in the forefront of this institution. The hallowed chambers represent our consciousness for freedom and sense of belonging.

“You see, this is our diversity representing all parts and how we blend together to be brothers and sisters. Without this House, probably I may not find the path to the presidency. I started off from here. And that is why I am giving my respect this morning to you, to please continue to collaborate, work together, build our country.

“We have no other choice. It’s our nation. No one, no age, no other institution or personality will help us except we do it ourselves. No amount of aids that may be coming from foreign countries or any other nation, they take care of themselves first. So let us work together to build our nation, not only for us but for generations yet unborn.

“We must nourish this democracy, build this nation so that the future of our great grandchildren will be sure of prosperity, development and progress,” he said.
He further told the lawmakers that he would soon present the 2024 Appropriation Bill before them for consideration and age.

In his welcome address, the Senate President and chairman of the National Assembly, Godswill Akpabio noted that the President only stopped over to greet the lawmakers, saying they look forward to celebrating Democracy Day on June 12, whichever way Tinubu chooses to celebrate with them.

“Of all the significant things you have done, if you take us back to our genealogy, that though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand, Nigerians all, and proud to serve our sovereign Motherland.

“Henceforth, we will not refer to ourselves as compatriots but brothers, so today we say Nigeria we hail thee. There is no better place to go back to our genealogy than the National Assembly where we have elected Representatives.

“We look forward to celebrating Democracy Day on June 12, whichever way you choose to celebrate with us we will take it,” he said.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, said the President’s visit to the t session of the National Assembly was to flag off the recitation of the new national anthem after giving assent to the Bill.

He commended President Tinubu for the cordial relationship between the executive and legislative arms of the Federal Government, saying it was good for democracy.

“Mine is just to say a big thank you to our dear leader, who has been very ive of the National Assembly over the last one year. A true democrat who has seen it all; a former governor, a former senator, a leader of a party and now president. I want you to know, Your Excellency, that we in the National Assembly are delighted with your report card, with your performance.”

He added that June 12 is supposed to be the real Democracy Day, not May 29.

Wike Genuinely Serving Nigerians – Tinubu

Also yesterday, President Tinubu described the commencement of operations in the Abuja Metro Line as a dream come true for Nigerians, saying it was evidence that the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike was giving quality service to the nation.

Tinubu, who spoke at the flag-off of commercial operations of the Abuja Light Rail, Abuja Metro Station, said he was not surprised at the project given Wike’s track record.

“Mr. Project (Wike), thank you very much to you and your team. In keeping with the ideals of the Renewed Hope Agenda, you have demonstrated an unusual capacity to include people with your team.

“The huge investment you have saved and put into this project is there for the people to . Transportation gives hope and access to various individuals and organisations. But here we are, at the last review, the access roads to the various stations on the route are not done.

“But today, we proudly say you are truly serving the nation, which is part of the critical element of our national anthem adopted. It is all about service. You are proud to serve your motherland. Thank you,” he said.

He said the FCT istration’s accomplishments demonstrated a serious commitment to value, a charge that all Nigerians should embrace.

Tinubu further said the Abuja Light Rail Metro stands as a symbol of progress, connectivity, and inclusivity, signifying his istration’s determination to modernise transportation infrastructure, reduce traffic congestion in the city, and enhance accessibility to all residents, be they visitors within and outside Abuja.

“Today, what we have in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is another piece of evidence that we are a government that delivers on promises. I keenly observe other milestones that this istration has achieved, especially in the areas of social services and other public utilities,” he said.

Earlier, Wike said that the Renewed Hope Agenda is a reality in the FCT and that he was using Abuja to prove that it is real and working.

“This is a promise made and a promise fulfilled. When we were sworn in, Mr President said to our dear chief host and landlord, I want to get rid of the Metro line; do not give me land. All I want is to ride on the Metro line.

“This means your Excellency knew a Metro line existed, but why did he say he wanted to ride on it? It was because it was not operational. That was why he said he wanted to ride on it; he would not have given that directive if it had been operational.

“That was why he gave a marching order for us to make it operational in the interest of the residents of the FCT. It was that directive that spurred us into action. We asked the Transport Secretariat why the Metro line was not in use, and they said it was commissioned around 2017 or 2018.

“We asked how you could have built train stations without access roads. The contract for the rehabilitation of this rail line was given in 2018, and it was awarded at the cost of $30 million, and it was not paid,” he said.
He explained that the presidential directive compelled them to plead with the central bank governor, finance minister, and federation’s ant-general to them.

“Without their , it would not have been possible. We are talking about a renewed hope agenda: giving back hope to the people. Today, it is a reality. People will now be happy that I can come to the city and go back. Those who want to watch football can take the train to the stadium and watch,” he said.

I fully President Tinubus call to build a better Nigeria for future generations, and commend his efforts in promoting collaboration between the executive and legislative arms of government.

So what will now happen to the present generation? This guys are just wicked. One year later and we are yet to feel any positive impact of the subsidy removal. Renewed hope has turned to lost hope for the poor. It is well.

Stop talking just act.... OTP...... Whose president ever...

Let's us survive first at least , because it's only the survivors can get to raise a child, hunger is chasing people away from bringing kids to the world again except the riches, if we can't afford to survive on own, hence denying bringing kids due to the last hope on meal cannot be afford anymore (Garri don turn cocaine) then who is the generation we are expecting...

Generation we cannot afford to train will bring the home down

Story

My heart curses this man every time I see his name in the news.

I have never been like this my entire life!

Same rhetoric buhari used.. Baba is building costal high way for election purpose and also giving student loan to entice the youths. Look anybody that is very desperate for power is not fit to govern a nation.

Okay sir, but your own generations unborn already have enough stolen money they don't need to work for 100 years.

Tinubu, I can't see any of such steps.

When the only achievement I can see is the ing of national anthem bill.

Tinubu all I can see is the hardship, inflation, and poverty you have inflicted on Nigerians the very first minute you became president.

I can see how you intend to achieve this nonsense dream of yours with the continuous anti human policies of multiple taxes.

Tinubu what will you tell posterity that you met dollar slightly above 400 Naira and within a year with your so called first class in ing from Chicago the dollar rose to 1500 naira?

Hmmmm..... I no blame you, na docile Nigerians I blame.

Tinubu is incompetent

increase the VOLUME make those unsound,backwards,slow,unreasonable,pathetic rodents 😄😎🤣 hear am

But your actions and inactions have literally destroyed the country to the point that the unborn generation wouldn't have a country to call their own.

You go curse tire o 😂😂🤣😂.

He knows his gullible followers are empty headed and will always believe his lies without questioning them.

Yes, subsidy is gone

Unborn generation kwa

...
With the way this neck pressing is going, the next generation may not come..

We need to build this nation truly but not with these sets of polithievians leading the path. Masses are put into pains and subjected to poverty while these polithievians are sipping the remaining lives in them.
With the wrecleess spending of this government it really shows that they're not into the ministry of nation building but nation wreckage

Lip seems again...

Smh

Bola on your mandate

Shey the presidency be come out say no meeting like that, follow news bloggers at your own peril oh! Infact social media should not be trusted.

Will you keep quiet there.

GreatOchuks:

You go curse tire o 😂😂🤣😂.

Abi!

It's not intentional honestly, it just comes!

Because it gets me angry that his desperation to grab power wasn't backed up by any plans to make the nation better

No sane and responsible man will want to raise his generation in Nigeria. I vow my children will get the best and raised abroad.

Is true .

Tinubu should arrest Buhari .

The worst President ever. He does not have the legitimacy to govern NIgeria. He is a mandate theif, and cannot mean well for the country.

Talk is cheap man..

You cannot build your plan with your clueless team..

Buhari took us from premier League to relegation and you want dip us down more..

How did one dollar equate 1600

The Nigeria that you want to use tax to destroy while negotiating how to pay workers with peltry 50k but steadily removed subsidies from almost everything.

Education is now very expensive.... And the crypto we managed to survive from, you crashed it.
