President Tinubu Restates Commitment To Equitable Leadership
President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his commitment to building a Nigeria where every citizen will have equal opportunity and freedom.
Tinubu made the pledge today, Wednesday, June 12, in his national broadcast to mark this year’s Democracy Day.
He said: “I take on this vital task without fear or favour and I commit myself to this work until we have built a Nigeria where no man is oppressed.
Tinubu reiterated his unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and just society through comprehensive economic and political reforms.
“As we continue to reform the economy, I shall always listen to the people and will never turn my back on you.
“In this spirit, we have negotiated in good faith and with open arms with organized labour on a new national minimum wage. We shall soon send an executive bill to the National Assembly to enshrine what has been agreed upon as part of our law for the next five years or less.
“In the face of labour’s call for a national strike, we did not seek to oppress or crack down on the workers as a dictatorial government would have done. We chose the path of cooperation over conflict.
“No one was arrested or threatened. Instead, the labour leadership was invited to break bread and negotiate toward a good-faith resolution.
“Reasoned discussion and principled compromise are hallmarks of democracy. These themes shall continue to animate my policies and interaction with the constituent parts of our political economy.
“I take on this vital task without fear or favour and I commit myself to this work until we have built a Nigeria where no man is oppressed,” he stated.
