Tinubu Urges Governors to Focus on Governance, Build Nigeria Together

President Bola Tinubu has called on state governors to set aside politics and work together with the federal government to build the nation.

During a Ramadan fast-breaking event at the State House on Thursday evening, the president emphasized the need to transition from politics to governance, and the importance of unity and cooperation among stakeholders.

“Since we recognize the need to build our nation together, the time for politics is over. It is now time for governance,” he said.

“We are of the same family and parents; living in the same house, but sleeping in different rooms. We must cooperate and spread love among each other.”

Acknowledging the difficulties faced by the nation, President Tinubu expressed optimism about the future, stating that the challenges are beginning to respond to the solutions being implemented by his administration.

“I am glad that the headwinds are almost over.

The tunnel is not as dark as when we started. It is going to be brighter and brighter. We must communicate with each other, stick together, and share joy,” he said.

The president also urged Nigerians to use the Ramadan season for reflection, prayers, and charity towards others.

AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and governor of Kwara, commended the federal government for distributing 42,000 tons of grains to cushion the impact of the economic hardship in the country.

He stressed the importance of collaboration between the federal and state governments in addressing collective challenges.

AbdulRazaq also assured the president that the states would do the “right thing” concerning the payment of wage awards to workers.

He encouraged all governors to engage in farming to better understand the challenges faced by ordinary farmers and ensure a bumper harvest at the end of the farming season.

President Tinubu’s call for unity and cooperation among state governors and the federal government highlights the importance of working together to overcome challenges and build a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.
