I was not elected to give excuses —Tinubu

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu says he was not elected by Nigerians to give excuses but to work hard to ensure the country is taken out of poverty and positioned for economic growth.

President Tinubu made the assertion in a statement on Thursday issued on his behalf by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, when he hosted a 62-person delegation from Rivers State, at the State House, Abuja.

The delegation which comprised leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was led by a former governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and his successor, Siminalayi Fubari.
