Amid allegations of favouritism in his allocation of projects, President Bola Tinubu has asserted that he took oath to serve all Nigerians.
A report emerged over the weekend that the Tinugu government has allocated over N3 trillion worth of projects to Lagos State alone, to the disadvantage of other parts of the country.
However, while dismissing the claims, Tinubu said the oath he took guides the developmental projects embarked on by his administration.
The president assured that no Nigerian will be left behind.
The president's comment was revealed in an X post by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga quoted Tinubu as saying: "Dear Nigerians,
"I took an oath to serve all Nigerians, not a section. That oath guides every bridge, road, rail, power, and health project we deliver.
"From the Lagos–Calabar Highway in the South to the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway in the North; from Port Harcourt–Maiduguri rail in the East to Abuja–Kaduna–Kano expressway in the Centre, and the Trans-Saharan highway connecting African countries, these are not local trophies. They are our national assets.
"Health centres are being rehabilitated nationwide, light rail projects in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos & Ogun have been given the green light, 250,000 jobs are being created, power is returning to Kaduna through the revived 255MW power plant, bridges in Onitsha & Bonny reconnect our people, oil exploration is expanding in Bauchi & Gombe, and the AKK pipeline has crossed the Niger.
"Every farmer who needs a road, every trader who needs power, every child who needs a school, every patient who needs care… this is who we are building for.
"This is the equity of Renewed Hope. No Nigerian is second class, no region is left behind. Together we will rise as one nation, one people, and one destiny. Bet on Nigeria."
