From his Twitter handle he twitted @officialABAT Today, I had the delight of welcoming distinguished Governors from our great party, the APC, to the State House.
According to Uzodinma, Tinubu had started well by placing the economy and welfare of the people on a priority list, with honesty of purpose.
Tinubu spoke during a meeting with members of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) led by Hope Uzodinma, chairman of the forum and governor of Imo, in Abuja, on Friday.
Tinubu said the federal and state governments need to take a look at the minimum wage together and also strengthen the source and application of the country’s revenue.
“We need to do some arithmetic and soul-searching on the minimum wage. We will have to take a look at that together, and the revenue. We must strengthen the source and application of our revenue,” he said.
The president further said multiple exchange rates would be streamlined, adding that governance was a continuum.
“I have inherited the assets and liabilities of my predecessor. This is the first time you entered the council chambers, and it is my first time too for a meeting,” Tinubu said.
As progressives and thinkers under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC), you have a role to play in educating our people and making sure we manage ourselves,’’ Tinubu told the governors.
“If we work together, the Nigeria of our dreams is not far away. Rest assured that we will not have multiple exchange rates anymore. You asked for this meeting, and I had to set aside time to be here.
“We have a political party that we will need to manage, whichever way, we have inherited assets and liabilities, and we cannot complain.”
He also said his administration would maintain an open-door policy, willing to entertain issues, deliberate, and collectively find solutions to the challenges facing the country, including security.
