Tinubu said the administration will never pull down a single person for holding a view contrary to the view held by the administration.

Nigeria’s newly inaugurated President Bola Tinubu has said his administration shall never rule over the people.

Tinubu said the administration will never pull down a single person for holding a view contrary to the view held by the administration.

In his inaugural speech, Tinubu said, “Our administration will govern you only on your behalf nut never rule over you.”

“We shall consult and dialogue but never dictate. We shall never pull down a single person for holding views contrary to our own,” he added.

On Sunday, Tinubu asked Nigerians not to pity him over the enormity of the work ahead as the president of the most populated African country because he asked for the job.

Tinubu also expressed confidence that he will live up to the expectations of Nigerians.

He said this on Sunday while speaking during the inauguration dinner and gala night in Abuja.

 

According to Tinubu, Nigeria is faced with lots of corruption, insecurity and many other problems. He, however, said he didn’t need anyone’s pity because he campaigned for the job and therefore should not give excuses.

“We have corruption, insecurity and many problems confronting us… but don’t pity me. I asked for the job. I campaigned for it. No excuses.

 

“I will live up to expectation, I promise you.”
