President Bola Tinubu says he is committed to building Nigeria and he is taking the necessary steps to make that happen.
He stated that he is unperturbed by the insults and abuse that suffering Nigerians are hurling at him as he knows what it takes to govern and build the country.
The president spoke in Enugu on Saturday during a meeting with stakeholders from the south-east geopolitical zone.
He was in Enugu to commission projects executed by the state governor, Peter Mbah.
At the meeting, the president told the south-east stakeholders that the removal of petrol subsidy was important to build the nation and protect the interests of future generations.
Tinubu said he understands the challenging nature of his work before contesting the 2023 elections.
“You are all members of one big, huge family called Nigeria but living in different rooms in the same house.
“This house, we must build it. Build it to satisfy our immediate need, which is not going to be enough yet but for tomorrow too. That is why the removal of the first subsidy was necessary.
“You cannot spend the future of generations yet unborn in advance. Don’t bankrupt the nation before they are born.
“I know people will fight, grumble, and abuse me, and everything, but I asked for the job. I know what it takes. I believe in myself, and I believe I can gather a very good team and build a nation.
“It is our country. We have to work really hard for it to build a nation that we can be proud of. Change the narrative—negative comment about Nigeria.
“I’m not taking that (negative comment). I’m very proud of Nigeria. You all should be proud of Nigeria,” he said.
