I didn’t come to look for money, I came to work – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has emphasized his dedication to public service, stating, “I didn’t come to look for money and exploit the situation; I came to work.”

His remarks were made during a meeting with the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, led by former Senate President Ken Nnamani.

At the meeting, which included 16 former legislative leaders, Tinubu expressed gratitude for the support he has received, regardless of political affiliations. He urged the attendees to foster unity and collaboration to tackle Nigeria’s pressing challenges.

“Regardless of party differences of the past and difficulty of the present, you still believe in me and what we all plan for this country,” he stated.

The President reflected on the current hardships facing the nation, acknowledging the need for improved educational environments and infrastructure.

Highlighting the complexities of governance, Tinubu outlined his administration’s focus on enhancing infrastructure, ensuring compliance with financial regulations, and exploring alternative energy sources.

He emphasized that effective collaboration is essential for the nation’s progress.

Senator Nnamani, speaking on behalf of the former presiding officers, expressed full support for Tinubu’s efforts in addressing Nigeria’s multifaceted challenges, including insecurity and economic difficulties.

“Though not of your creation, it has fallen onto you to end the pervasive insecurity across the nation,” he noted.
