I came to work, not to make money —Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his commitment to delivering tangible results and making a positive impact on Nigeria’s infrastructure, food and energy security, education and long-term economic stability.

In a meeting with the Former National Assembly Speakers Forum, led by former Senate President Ken Nnamani on Friday, Tinubu stressed that he was not driven by personal gain but rather by the desire to serve the country.

The president was quoted as having spoken to the former lawmaker in a statement signed by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga.

“I did not come to make money and exploit the situation; I came to work. I asked for votes, and Nigerians gave them to me,” Tinubu said, highlighting his administration’s focus on collaboration and inclusivity to drive national progress.

The meeting, attended by 16 former leaders, showed Tinubu’s appreciation for the support and encouragement from the Forum members, regardless of party affiliation. He urged them to continue to foster unity and friendship to achieve national development goals.

Tinubu reflected on the challenges facing Nigeria, citing neglected communities, inadequate education and poor infrastructure. “We have forgotten to educate our children. Look at the dilapidated schools. The educational environment must be conducive for students to learn,” he said.
