President Bola Tinubu on Friday said that the restoration of
the country to its rightful place in the community of nations requires
sacrifice from citizens, including religious and other leaders.
According to Tinubu’s spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the
President disclosed this in an audience with a delegation of South-West Muslim
faithful, led by Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, in Abuja, on Friday.
Tinubu noted that the current challenges facing the entire
nation were only temporary, assuring Nigerians that better days were in the
offing.
“We have to believe in one country; we have to believe in
Nigeria. We will do our best, and our economy will get better for the benefit
of Nigerians. I am very sure of that, and we are putting in the work to ensure
that,” the President said.
He noted that the policies and programmes of his
administration were aimed at achieving a fairer, better and honest society
where hard work would be rewarded and laziness would reap little.
“It is about our future. We must guarantee our future.
Almighty Allah will not give us a burden that we cannot bear. He has put us
here for a purpose. It may look complex, even rough, but it will get better.
“We avoided it (removing petroleum subsidy) for 40 years. We
are all going through the pain now, but for Nigeria not to collapse, we had to
remove the fuel subsidy.
“In the history of successful nations, there is nothing more
vital than the leadership of a nation making difficult decisions at the right
time and for the right reasons. There would have been no money for the
sub-nationals,” the President said.
