President Bola Tinubu has reiterated that he will never turn his back on Nigerians. On Wednesday in a nationwide broadcast commemorating Nigeria’s 25th anniversary of democracy.

“As we continue to reform the economy, I shall always listen to the people and will never turn my back on you.”

President Tinubu also spoke on the recent talks with organized labour on a new national minimum wage, adding that the government negotiated in good faith and will shortly present an executive measure to the National Assembly to entrench the agreed-upon salary for the next five years or less.

He emphasized the importance of both political and economic democracy, urging the nation to continue striving for a brighter future.

The President acknowledged the country’s economic woes and the need for changes to provide a better platform for future prosperity.

“In the end, our national greatness will not be achieved by travelling the easy road. It can only be achieved by taking the right one.

“The words of the American President Franklin Roosevelt certainly ring true: There are many ways of going forward. But only one way of standing still!

“We dare not slumber lest the good things awaiting our immediate future pass us by. We dare not plant our feet in an idle standstill in the middle of the intersection of hope and despair. We know the proper way forward and we shall take it!

“The initial rays of a brighter tomorrow now appear on the early horizon. An abundant future and our capacity to achieve that future lie within our reach.

“Democracy and the institutions it begets offer to take us to our profound destination.

“Let us board this progressive train together. Together, let us move Nigeria forward.

“Let’s continue to keep the fire of democracy burning. Let’s keep the torch lit for generations to come.”
