Over the weekend, Tinubu said: “We want
to stay focused and redirect Nigeria. We want to reverse the decay of
16 years. We are hearing comments from the PDP left and right. We are
saying we want to clear the mess they created.
For 16 good years, the PDP destroyed the country. We should not be lamenting over petrol queues today if they had seen what was necessary and done what was necessary for this country. We can’t be emotional and live in self-denial. They should have done the Awolowo Road and the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
If they put priority on our railroad, if they put priority on electricity generation and distribution, we will not be in this mess today. Nigerians are not impatient with the APC government; they just want to see the direction of the economic policy and want to be certain of the future.
They want to be assured that we will not continue the leaderless, directionless and hopelessness of the past 16 years. The fact is that Nigerians do not want the importation of toothpicks to continue, we can make toothpicks out of our bamboo trees. Nigeria does not want to import rice or plastic.
Nigeria does not want to continue in the direction of the past 16 years. What did they leave behind in our account? Why should certain things that we bring into this country become our priority? Why do we have to import those things that we can produce? The country needs surgical operation in the hands of a very honest Nigeria.”
