Nigeria Must Break Free From Poverty, Hopelessness – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to a stable, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria, assuring citizens that their well-being remains central to his administration’s agenda.
Speaking while receiving members of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors at State House, Abuja, Tinubu said his government is steadily dismantling long-standing political and economic structures that have hindered national prosperity.
The delegation was led by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who is also Director-General of the group.
According to presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu also pledged to sustain ongoing reforms aimed at expanding opportunities, particularly for poor and vulnerable Nigerians, while encouraging citizen participation in shaping the country’s future.
“You represent the conscience of a nation that wants to break the shackles of poverty and hopelessness,” the President said.
The meeting was attended by the Vice President, APC National Chairman, several serving governors, and prominent political figures across the country.
Tinubu urged members of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to intensify grassroots mobilisation and public sensitisation on government reforms, particularly efforts aimed at improving livelihoods.
“There’s no other path for us to attain national greatness other than to build one common vision for the progress and prosperity of our people. That is what we must do,” he said.
“There is no better place than our country, and no one can build it except us,” he said, assuring Nigerians that the country is on a path to sustainable growth under his leadership.
In his remarks, Governor Uzodimma said the group has made significant progress nationwide, including establishing structures at the grassroots and engaging citizens across communities, markets, and institutions.
He commended the president’s leadership and reaffirmed the group’s commitment to supporting the administration’s vision.
Former Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, praised the president’s reform efforts, describing them as necessary despite initial challenges.
“We know very well that reformers are always finding it extremely difficult at the beginning. More especially, if you are reforming in a society that is very difficult to understand, and some are willing to make people not understand,” Masari said.
He further commended the Tinubu for taking hard but necessary reforms that leaders before him could not, saying that Nigeria has become better for it.
