Speaking at a meeting with the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday, Bola Tinubu assured that he would continue to do his best for the country.
“I thank the cabinet members for their efforts, but I will relieve any of them of their duties anytime I feel that they are failing Nigerians,” he said.

As reported by Daily Trust, he also appealed to state governments to prioritize the needs of local communities by ensuring accountability and effectiveness in the administration of local governments.
“I will appeal to you to summon the governors. I am doing my very best to enhance the revenue base of the country. They must equally be sympathetic, and they must urgently consider the needs of the local people.
“People reside in the local communities. That is where they work, farm, and live. If the local governments are not effective in delivering services; as leaders, we must not hang on to the numbers.
“Maybe we should look at recalibrating. What was good four years ago may not be good today. When we want the votes, we go to the locals; when we get the votes, we move to and focus on Abuja,” he said.
Speaking on the significance of education in nation-building, the president described the situation of out-of-school children in parts of Nigeria as unacceptable.
