President Bola Tinubu has said he’s not oblivious to the tough conditions and harsh economic realities that come with working and living in a foreign country.
This is as he appealed to Nigerians to bear with his government on the implementation of certain economic policies, noting that the discomfort and hardship they are experiencing are temporary.
Tinubu spoke in Paris, France on Friday while addressing Nigerians residents in the European country.
He said he had experienced the vagaries and rough side of life in a foreign land first hand during his days in the United Kingdom and United States many years ago.
Tinubu stated, “So, your President is here. I danced for it and I have to continue to be prepared for it.
“The challenges are enormous. But do we have hope? Yes. With perseverance, determination and persistence, we can achieve whatever we desire.”
“I know the road and I’ve been through what many of you have been through outside the country. I’ve been in America and in the UK; I had been a night guard, security man and a door man in America. But I have achieved my aim.”
Tinubu also promised to work for those who did not vote for him during the February 25 election in which he was declared the winner.
“Whether you voted for me or you didn’t vote for me, I am your president. By the grace of God, I have to work on your behalf,” he explained.
