Tinubu noted that for the country to enjoy the good benefits that came with the new year, the citizens must be willing to work together both as individuals and collectively as a people, adding that Nigerians must play their part in ensuring that the year 2024 is better than the previous years.
He further stated that the job of building a prosperous nation must not be left to the president, governors, ministers, lawmakers, and government officials alone, maintaining that as members of the household of Nigeria, the destinies of everyone are connected.
The president urged Nigerians not to let the differences in their language, creed, ethnicity, and religious beliefs, work at cross purpose, stating that there is unity in diversity.
