President Bola Tinubu yesterday in France disclosed that those who wrote his inaugural address on May 29 did not include petrol subsidy removal in it.
“Making just a few smugglers rich. Some countries were bleaching us. Courage was missing. Sometimes I became an advocate of it. Remove this thing but God gave me the opportunity when I danced around, strategized with my team, we won the presidency. And the day I was declared the winner, I fell almost sick with joy.”
Regarding the financial system, Tinubu said the nation’s financial system was rotting under suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Godwin Emefiele. “The man is in the hands of authorities, something is being done about that, they will sort themselves out,” he said. Emphasizing unity and economic justice, President Tinubu stated, “Nigeria belongs to all of us. Our diversity is an asset if we know how to use it for our prosperity. Born of the same father, in the same house except living in different rooms. We must promote unity, stability, and economic justice for every one of us.”
