News trending now has it while delivering a speech at the 8th Annual Bola Tinubu Colloquium organised to mark his 64th birthday anniversary celebration in Abuja on Tuesday, the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said the lack of performance that characterised past governments in the country would not be tolerated by the current administration of Muhammadu Buhari.

 

"The lack of government performance that has for years been a source of pain is no longer tolerable. This government is committed to reversing the trend towards a positive and progressive outcome.

"We have reached the point where we can no longer look the other way because there is longer another way. If we are to experience a new growth and development, we must do it ourselves. Nigerians must become Nigeria’s lifeline," Tinubu said.

 

The party chieftain said the APC-led federal government was aware of the challenges that bedevilled the nation and was working to right the wrongs of the past. According to him, the historic victory of the party had placed on the government a heavy responsibility to right the wrongs of the past years.

 

"Our path may be tough at present. But I do not entertain fear because I know our people are more resilient than the challenges we face," he said.

 

The former governor of Lagos State decried the level of corruption sustained by successive governments over the decades, adding that they did it because they believed in weak governance and strong corruption.

 

"Those who came before us believed in weak governance but strong corruption. They were the authors of the malfeasance and ruthless indifference that enchained this nation and its remarkable people. They acted as if their pilferage would never end. But it was ended by the people of this great country."
