” ‘I thank you all for responding to this invitation. You honoured it out of respect, not because you don’t have enough to eat or share”, President Tinubu said.

“President Tinubu noted that political leaders’ efforts are crucial in meeting citizens’ expectations. He commended the people-oriented policies that have started yielding positive results in improved human development indexes and economic indicators.

“The President attributed the success of economic reforms to the collective effort of members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) and the collaboration of leaders at the subnational levels.

” ‘I recall in our first FEC meeting, I said we were going to work hard to fetch water from a dry well. We are still working hard to ensure that there is water to drink and that we spend money, not the people.

” ‘You, the leaders at the subnational levels, are also doing all you can to spend money, not the people,” he noted.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
