… Says, You’re Not The Only Voice of Nigeria
PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has sounded a word of warning to public servants across the nation, saying they are not the only voice of Nigeria.
President Tinubu’s comment comes two days after the Nigeria Labour Congress – NLC, held a nationwide protest over economic hardship in the nation.
“The Labour Union should understand that no matter how long we cling to our freedom and rights, the first strike within nine months of an administration is unacceptable,’’ Tinubu said in Lagos on Thursday during the inauguration of the state’s Red Line Rail service.
“If you want to participate in the electoral process, wait until 2027. If not maintain peace. You are not the only voice of Nigerians,” he added.
The President used the occasion to assure Nigerians that things will get better.
“I speak to Nigerians through this podium that change is possible, and change we must achieve. Progress we must achieve. It is not about a single individual. It is about the highest growing population in the world,” he said.
On the issue of corruption, Tinubu aso promised that his administration will tackle the menace.
“I agree (that) smugglers will fight back, corruption will fight back. We will fight them to ruins. Corruption will go away, (we will) save the money for you to educate our children, to pay for the healthcare system of our people, to pay for the modern transportation system that works for the highest number of people, not those few smugglers.”
