10 things Tinubu said in Public Broadcast | #Politicsnigeria

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a Public Broadcast on Sunday addressed Nigerians over the #EndBadGovernance Protests that have rocked the country since last week.

Tinubu called on Nigerians to suspend further protests, adding that he has heard them ‘Loud and Clear’. Below are 10 things the Nigerian leader said in his now trending speech;

PUBLIC ORDER
“As President of this country, I must ensure public order. In line with my constitutional oath to protect the lives and property of every citizen, our government will not stand idly by and allow a few with a clear political agenda to tear this nation apart.”

“Under the circumstances, I hereby en protesters and the organisers to suspend any further protest and create room for dialogue, which I have always acceded to at the slightest opportunity. Nigeria requires all hands on deck and needs us all – regardless of age, party, tribe, religion or other divides, to work together in reshaping our destiny as a nation. To those who have taken undue advantage of this situation to threaten any section of this country, be warned: The law will catch up with you. There is no place for ethnic bigotry or such threats in the Nigeria we seek to build.”

2. ECONOMY

“For decades, our economy has remained anaemic and taken a dip because of many misalignments that have stunted our growth. Just over a year ago, our dear country, Nigeria, reached a point where we couldn’t afford to continue the use of temporary solutions to solve long-term problems for the sake of now and our unborn generations. I therefore took the painful yet necessary decision to remove fuel subsidies and abolish multiple foreign exchange systems which had constituted a noose around the economic jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress.”

“These actions blocked the greed and the profits that smugglers and rent-seekers made. They also blocked the undue subsidies we had extended to our neighbouring countries to the detriment of our people, rendering our economy prostrate. These decisions I made were necessary if we must reverse the decades of economic mismanagement that didn’t serve us well. Yes, I agree, the buck stops on my table. But I can assure you that I am focused fully on delivering the governance to the people – good governance for that matter.”

“In the past 14 months, our government has made significant strides in rebuilding the foundation of our economy to carry us into a future of plenty and abundance. On the fiscal side, aggregate government revenues have more than doubled, hitting over 9.1 trillion Naira in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023 due to our efforts at blocking leakages, introducing automation, and mobilising funding creatively without additional burden on the people. Productivity is gradually increasing in the non-oil sector, reaching new levels and taking advantage of the opportunities in the current economic ambience.”
“My dear brothers and sisters, we have come this far. Coming from a place where our country spent 97% of all our revenue on debt service; we have been able to reduce that to 68% in the last 13 months. We have also cleared legitimate outstanding foreign exchange obligations of about $5billion without any adverse impact on our programmes.”

“This has given us more financial freedom and the room to spend more money on you, our citizens, to fund essential social services like education and healthcare. It has also led to our State, and Local Governments receiving the highest allocations ever in our country’s history from the Federation .”

3. INFRASTRUCTURE

“We have also embarked on major infrastructure projects across the country. We are working to complete inherited projects critical to our economic prosperity, including roads, bridges, railways, power, and oil and gas developments.”

“Notably, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Highway projects will open up 16 connecting states, creating thousands of jobs and boosting economic output through trade, tourism and cultural integration.”

4. OIL AND GAS

“Our once-declining oil and gas industry is experiencing a resurgence on the back of the reforms I announced in May 2024 to address the gaps in the Petroleum Industry Act. Last month, we increased our oil production to 1.61million barrels per day, and our gas assets are receiving the attention they deserve. Investors are coming back, and we have already seen two Foreign Direct Investments signed of over half a billion dollars since then.”

“Fellow Nigerians, we are a country blessed with both oil and gas resources, but we met a country that had been dependent solely on oil-based petrol, neglecting its gas resources to power the economy. We were also using our hard-earned foreign exchange to pay for, and subsidise its use. To address this, we immediately launched our Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (CNG) to power our transportation economy and bring costs down. This will save over two trillion Naira a month, being used to import PMS and AGO and free up our resources for more investment in healthcare and education.”

“To this end, we will be distributing a million kits of extremely low or no cost to commercial vehicles that transport people and goods and who currently consume 80% of the imported PMS and AGO.”

“We have started the distribution of conversion kits and setting up of conversion centres across the country in conjunction with the private sector. We believe that this CNG initiative will reduce transportation costs by approximately 60 per cent and help to curb inflation.”

5. EDUCATION

“Our istration has shown its commitment to the youth by setting up the student loan scheme. To date, 45.6billion Naira has already been processed for payment to students and their respective institutions.”

“I encourage more of our vibrant youth population to take advantage of this opportunity. We established the Consumer Credit Corporation with over N200billion to help Nigerians to acquire essential products without the need for immediate cash payments, making life easier for millions of households. This will consequently reduce corruption and eliminate cash and opaque transactions. This week, I ordered the release of an additional N50billion Naira each for NELFUND – the student loan, and Credit Corporation from the proceeds of crime recovered by the EFCC.”

“Additionally, we have secured $620million under the Digital and Creative Enterprises (IDiCE) – a programme to empower our young people, creating millions of IT and technical jobs that will make them globally competitive. These programmes include the 3Million Technical Talents scheme. Unfortunately, one of the digital centres was vandalised during the protests in Kano. What a shame!”

“In addition, we have introduced the Skill-Up Artisans Programme (SUPA); the Nigerian Youth Academy (NIYA); and the National Youth Talent Export Programme (NATEP).”

6. GRANTS

“Also, more than N570 billion has been released to the 36 states to expand livelihood to their citizens, while 600,000 nano-businesses have benefitted from our nano-grants. An additional 400,000 more nano-businesses are expected to benefit.”

“Furthermore, 75,000 beneficiaries have been processed to receive our N1million Micro and Small Business single-digit interest loans, starting this month. We have also built 10 MSME hubs within the past year, created 240,000 jobs through them and 5 more hubs are in progress which will be ready by October this year.”

“Furthermore, 75,000 beneficiaries have been processed to receive our N1million Micro and Small Business single-digit interest loans, starting this month. We have also built 10 MSME hubs within the past year, created 240,000 jobs through them and 5 more hubs are in progress which will be ready by October this year.”

“Payments of N1billion each are also being made to large manufacturers under our single-digit loans to boost manufacturing output and stimulate growth.”

7. MINIMUM WAGE

“I signed the National Minimum Wage into law last week, and the lowest-earning workers will now earn at least N70,000 a month.”

8. AGRICULTURE

“We are providing incentives to farmers to increase food production at affordable prices. I have directed that tariffs and other import duties should be removed on rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, drugs, and other pharmaceutical and medical supplies for the next 6 months, in the first instance, to help drive down the prices.”

“I have been meeting with our Governors and key Ministers to accelerate food production. We have distributed fertilisers. Our target is to cultivate more than 10 million hectares of land to grow what we eat. The Federal Government will provide all necessary incentives for this initiative, whilst the states provide the land, which will put millions of our people to work and further increase food production. In the past few months, we have also ordered mechanized farming equipment such as tractors and planters, worth billions of Naira from the United States, Belarus, and Brazil. I can confirm to you that the equipment is on the way.”

9. #EndBadGovernance Protests

“My dear Nigerians, especially our youth, I have heard you loud and clear. I understand the pain and frustration that drive these protests, and I want to assure you that our government is committed to listening and addressing the concerns of our citizens.”

“But we must not let violence and destruction tear our nation apart. We must work together to build a brighter future, where every Nigerian can live with dignity and prosperity.”

“The task before us is a collective one, and I am leading the charge as your President. A lot of work has gone into stabilising our economy and I must stay focused on ensuring that the benefits reach every single Nigerian as promised.”

“Let nobody misinform and miseducate you about your country or tell you that your government does not care about you. Although there have been many dashed hopes in the past, we are in a new era of Renewed Hope. We are working hard for you, and the results will soon be visible and concrete for everyone to see, feel, and enjoy.”

“Let us work together to build a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come. Let us choose hope over fear, unity over division, and progress over stagnation. The economy is recovering; Please, don’t shut out its oxygen. Now that we have been enjoying democratic governance for 25 years, do not let the enemies of democracy use you to promote an unconstitutional agenda that will set us back on our democratic journey. FORWARD EVER, BACKWARD NEVER!”

10. SECURITY/PEACE

“Security operatives should continue to maintain peace, law, and order in our country following the necessary conventions on human rights, to which Nigeria is a signatory. The safety and security of all Nigerians are paramount.”

Tinubu is speaking the truth! We need unity and dialogue to move Nigeria forward. His commitment to tackling the economy and security is commendable. Let’s give him a chance to deliver on his promises. Together, we can build a better Nigeria!

How is good governance replicated in the above ?
Corruption in all levels of government.
Politicians living large with tax payers money.
Inefficient Minister's not performing,yet still left to continue in office.
Masses are suffering through high cost of living.
No respite in sight for now.

APC government na like student wey dey tell teacher say he know subject him, and was given the chalk 2 teach the class only to mess up

“As President of this country, I must ensure public order. In line with my constitutional oath to protect the lives and property of every citizen, our government will not stand idly by and allow a few with a clear political agenda to tear this nation apart.” Na this part I like .


All our i.pobidient brethren that were saying "we dare Tinubu to kill one Northerner" but are still the one crying about the k!lling of some Northern looters cum protesters should try and rest. 😂

The sure way is to work smart and earn your own Money in this Country.... Nobody give a damn about you.. I've said my own...

PEACE ✌️

In essence, Tinubu is saying that the protester's demands are baseless that he has nothing to say or do about their baseless demands.


It will take an extraordinary INEC magic rigging for Bola Tinubu to win a reelection in 2027.


He already knows that its game over for him, so he doesn't care about the future consequences, by the way he will be nearing his grave after his 4 years malistration. Yorubas will suffer the consequences of foolishly ing this evil failure without remorse in the name of tribe.



I wonder who told this conman that a new Coastal Highway from Lagos to Calabar and Badagry to Sokoto are Nigerian people's priority now as they battle with hunger, worst ever inflation and widespread unemployment.


It is well.

He said nothing new

After 4yrs, he will still beg for more time like his predecessor

If he didn't become the president,we would have been hearing from Yoruba apc how Tinubu would have build Nigeria like he builded Lagos.





The same way they make noise about Abiola being the best president Nigeria never have.

Nothing said on health

What Tinubu said doesn't matter
What matters is what people see

WHAT DO YOU SEE ?

Man just threw up double middle finger

My sparogative take after painfully wasting 20 minutes of my time.
How can a man who surrounds himself with ethnic bigots and even pays his urchins to destabilise the polity using ethnic slurs say there is no place for ethnic bigotry. Wow Miracle no dey tire Jesus!

To those who have taken undue advantage of this situation to threaten any section of this country, be warned: The law will catch up with you. There is no place for ethnic bigotry or such threats in the Nigeria we seek to build.”

The major cause of this protest is hunger, and the major cause of the hunger is the increase in the price of food items which is as a result of many farmers not being able to access their farms due to insecurity caused by widespread banditry. Instead of this man to address the root cause, he is boldly telling us that he is creating more avenues to loot.

We are providing incentives to farmers to increase food production at affordable prices.

After all the unending gallivanting, burning Aero fuels, and feeding yourself and all your delegates with tax payers money, it's only 500+ million dollars you can boast of?

Investors are coming back, and we have already seen two Foreign Direct Investments signed of over half a billion dollars since then.”

This right here is the biggest lie to mathematics and critical reasoning. Big amounts of allocation that amounts to nothing due to the astronomical inflation caused by failed and foolish policies?

It has also led to our State, and Local Governments receiving the highest allocations ever in our country’s history from the Federation .”

This istrations and audio promises, just like the ₦40,000 bag of rice no one knows where they are selling it.

“To this end, we will be distributing a million kits of extremely low or no cost to commercial vehicles that transport people and goods and who currently consume 80% of the imported PMS and AGO.”

How can Tinubu who heaped praises on Buhari's istration say he would be rebuilding the foundation. So what did Buhari that you MADE president do for the past 8 years? APC is nothing but a demonic party that will only continue to fail Nigerians.

In the past 14 months, our government has made significant strides in rebuilding the foundation of our economy to carry us into a future of plenty and abundance.

After all said, I only deduced that Tinubu's government is without direction or vision and shamelessly out of touch with reality!

Cho cho cho

An African proverb says.. "you can't wake a man who pretends to be asleep"..

'Subsidy has been removed' is a lie that they would keep telling themselves and to you until such a time when it becomes safe to it the truth.

They ask you to ignore the obvious numbers and take what they tell you.. the numbers show that they are paying more 'subsidy' than they met on ground.

These lies are what bring government to disrepute and ruins, and it's the masses that suffer them. It further widens the abyss of disconnect between the rulers and the ruled.

Nigerian leaders are like this.. something in that Aso Rock blinds them to the realities.. someone said it's a wilful blindness

Just when they step out of that seat, reality dawns on them and they would tell you 'sorry'.. we heard Buhari said this after 8 long tortuous years of our national life..🤔. He always convinced us with read pre-recorded speeches just like this that he knew what he was doing.. He did not!.. Time revealed that much. Every speech contained phantom numbers of npower beneficiaries, phantom number of school pupils being fed, phantom number of MSME they give money, phantom number of this or that.. in the end we all saw the number of poverties that were created. Same style is playing out..

My only say to you Mr President.. if you are convinced everything you are doing to the commonfolks is not for selfish reason but for common good, please also use this same boldness and energy to allow INEC do their job when the day of reckoning finally comes and that's in 2+ years..

Let the commonfolks decide on their own..!

I don burn the soup wey I manage cook yesterday with 12k, this morning as i was watching that broadcast. And na the soup wey I want use for this week ohh. God wich kind wahala be this?☹️☹️☹️

He forgot to mention how many times he's been sharing rice everywhere and anytime there is complain from the masses

The same talk,the same people.nothing new

May God bless Jagaban and guide him alright!
May God bless me and Nigeria!
May God bless whoever wants Nigeria to be better!

Hunger continues

This man is very tricky, wicked, confused.
The cost of governance is very high, policies are very bad, no project to give hope to the people

i told you guys not to go out and protest. It won't change anything.

Suffering continue.

4. OIL AND GAS

“Our once-declining oil and gas industry is experiencing a resurgence on the back of the reforms I announced in May 2024 to address the gaps in the Petroleum Industry Act. Last month, we increased our oil production to 1.61million barrels per day, and our gas assets are receiving the attention they deserve.

“We have started the distribution of conversion kits and setting up of conversion centres across the country in conjunction with the private sector. We believe that this CNG initiative will reduce transportation costs by approximately 60 per cent and help to curb inflation.”

It broke my heart seeing how private and government properties were destroyed and looted. Owning a business myself , I can imagine the agony those who lost their shops must be going through at the moment.

Lastly , a big shout out to the South East foe refusing to engage in the protest , by now a dozens of Ndigbo would have been arrested and labeled arsonists

I do hope one day, we will genuinely unite as one and fight the common enemy we have

If only these words will bring down the price of rice, or reduced the cost of living.
Currently now cost of living is killing the living.

Pele ooo agba builder... Keep building it for their families and generations unborn.

I love Nigeria with all my heart but people like Tinubu will never ever make the country prosper seh... know this and know peace!!

At the end of the day, he has said nothing new.

The demands of Nigerians are simple. Yet , not one of those demands were even remotely addressed. People are hungry and you're telling them to give you more time!

He still believes that this protests are organised by his political opponents. That's his greatest undoing. Not everything is politics.

Tinubu said only one thing. He said that TINUBULATION will continue.

B.

We don't need press releases sir. We want to start seeing results
