President Bola Tinubu has admonished Nigerians against speaking ill of the country, stressing that Nigeria has crossed a critical point and is now on the path to improvement.
Tinubu assured Nigerians that they would soon begin to enjoy prosperity, noting that the country’s 65th independence anniversary is no small milestone.
The President made the remarks during his one-day state visit to Owerri, Imo State, on Tuesday.
“Nigeria has just turned the corner. You will see prosperity; you will have it. Those who are talking ill of this country should stop doing so. Sixty-five years of independence is not a joke,” Tinubu said.
“We are proud of our forefathers—we are proud of what they believed: that Nigeria should be one, that it should be an all-inclusive government, that we must take care of the elderly, care for the vulnerable, educate our children, and build a welfare system that will strengthen our healthcare.”
