President Bola Tinubu has vowed that he will fight the
menace of corruption in Nigeria to ruin.

 

Tinubu made this vow while speaking at the inauguration of
the Red Line Rail Project in Lagos on Thursday.

 

He said, “We said we can do it, you believed in us. We said
the people’s lives will end up being better, you believed in us. I could hear a
lot of voices right now, I asked for this job, I cannot complain, it’s all
about democracy.

“I agree smugglers will fight back, corruption will fight
back. We will fight them to ruin. Corruption will go away, save the money for
you to educate our children, to pay for the healthcare system of our people, to
pay for the modern transportation system that works for the highest number of
people, not those few smugglers.

 

“What is our problem? If it’s corruption, we must
exterminate it. No matter how hard it’s fighting back, we must say no to
corruption. We must adhere to our pledge of patriotism, perseverance,
consistency, and staying focused.”

President Tinubu noted that while the current administration
makes an effort to fight corruption, the scourge will fight back.

 

He further stated, “We must be committed to great value, and
we will grow the economy. We will feed ourselves out of penury, and we will be
happy that we did it.

“I tell Nigerians from this podium that change is possible
and that we must make progress. It’s not about a single individual but about
the fastest-growing population in the world.

 

“Out of every black-coloured individual, one is a Nigerian.
We cannot afford to relax; we must plan and prepare for the increasing
population.

 

“But this revolution that has started, this reform that is
ongoing, we are not looking back. The engineering, the construction, the
affirmation of our pledge to be loyal to our country. There is one thing I know
is that there is a very bright light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
