'President Tinubu declared that he is ready to work with any elected representative from the National Assembly, stressing that the Nigeria project is of paramount importance to him.'
President Bola Tinubu Friday suggested that even though he has his preference among the candidates seeking to be leaders of the National Assembly, he is ready to work with whoever the new lawmakers choose to elect as their leaders.
“President Tinubu declared that he is ready to work with any elected representative from the National Assembly, stressing that the Nigeria project is of paramount importance to him.” ‘‘We are all ears. We are ready to listen at any given time. I promise you an open-door policy and that is the way I will go.
On the decision to remove fuel subsidy, for which various speakers at the meeting expressed support, the President appealed to the traditional leaders to persuade Nigerians to have faith and that the pump prices of fuel will eventually come down. ‘‘The lamentations about the capital projects, where is the money going to come from if we don’t protect our resources and our boundaries?On the leadership of the National Assembly, the President urged the Royal Fathers to counsel their subjects interested in elective positions on the need to manage their ambitions, and create harmony within the legislative house.
Condemning crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region by a ‘tiny percentage’ of the population, President Tinubu said it was counterproductive to the growth of the economy. ‘‘That’s devolution of power and that should be our contribution to the developmental projects you are looking for and we will continue in ways that will help our people,’’ he said.
