President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to endure the “baby steps” his administration is currently taking in his efforts at rebuilding the country.
The president made the appeal during a private visit to the palace of the Alake and Paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday, June 29.
“What I ask for is prayers that will help the country and I’m determined to help our country, to steer the ship of the nation, build a good team, positive for this country and deliver on all the promises that I have made.
The hope is recharged, is here. That hope will never fade. That hope will recharge you life in positive manner.
I’m here still making that pledge of the campaign promise that there is no difference between us and any members of the Nigerian family. I have seen that in France during the discussion and we are the children of the same parents living in the same house, we are only sleeping in different rooms, just recognize that.
Let us be united, no distraction, we will arrive at the destination, a positive destination for this country and it is all in our hands to make history and I promise that.
Nigeria will see positive changes as we move along, just go through these baby’s steps of p@in, baby steps of p@in. I’m taking baby steps as the President, not matching in a hurry, being ready to listen, maintain an open door policy, let the freedom flow, let confidence return to Nigeria.
This country is the only country that we have. I have been a refugee, I know what it is to be a refugee in another country and my green passport is what I still have now.
We need your prayers, we need your support, we need your interventions to get our people a changed mind, so that the economy prosperity of this country being opening up will affect all of us positively,” he said.
