ABUJA – President Bola Tinubu has reacted personally to insinuations that his administration has been discriminatory in appointments.
Tinubu took to his verified post on his official handle, @ officialPBAT, to debunk the insinuations, saying in his over two-year-old administration no Nigerian is regarded as second class citizen and that no region of the country is left behind in terms of spreading development.
Tinubu went on to insist that he’s on oath to serve all Nigerians and not a particular section of the country.
He also reeled out several projects including bridges, roads, rail, health centres, power, agriculture, oil and gas spread across the six geo-political zones being executed by the administration since assuming power in 2023.
Tinubu took to the post stating, “Dear Nigerians, I took an oath to serve all Nigerians, not a section. That oath guides every bridge, road, rail, power and health project we deliver.
“From the Lagos–Calabar Highway in the South to the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway in the North; from Port Harcourt– Maiduguri rail in the East to Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway in the centre, and the Trans-Saharan highway connecting African countries, these are not local trophies. They are our national assets.
“Health centres are being rehabilitated nationwide, light rail projects in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos & Ogun have been given the green light, 250,000 jobs are being created, power is returning to Kaduna through the revived 255MW power plant, bridges in Onitsha & Bonny reconnect our people, oil exploration is expanding in Bauchi & Gombe, and the AKK pipeline has crossed the Niger.
“Every farmer who needs a road, every trader who needs power, every child who needs a school, every patient who needs care… this is who we are building for.
“This is the equity of Renewed Hope. No Nigerian is second class, no region is left behind. Together we will rise as one nation, one people, and one destiny.
“Bet on Nigeria.”
