Nigeria now has a focused government – Tinubu

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said with the inauguration of the federal executive council by President Muhammadu Buhari the country now has a good and focused government.

Tinubu stated this Thursday while making remarks at the commissioning of the Mile 12-Ikorodu BRT extension at Ikorodu.

He said, “With the team put together by Buhari, he is set to move Nigeria forward, the government is focused, he is the driver of the bus and we are the followers.”

He disclosed that Buhari’s method of planning and redesigning before launching out was the same method he adopted when he started his reign in 1999 and just as they are calling Buhari ‘baba go slow’ that was how he was called go-slow.

“I was complaining then about paucity of funds just as it is now, it was people like the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and others who were part of the cabinet then that were part of the dream to reclaim and develop Lagos state and set the tone for infrastructural renewal and today we are seeing evidence of it.

 

He urged Nigerians to support the government, “every one of us is involved in this project one way or the other.

Tinubu said, “We want to continue with the development of our country and make Lagos a model. We want peace, progress, stability, continuity in Lagos state.”

He also advised everyone to be security conscious and report the presence of strange people in their community because as Boko Haram is being dismantled in the North East they are escaping to other parts of the country, “so we must be our brother’s keeper.”
