According to LEADERSHIP, immediately after the conferment, Tinubu spoke about President Muhammadu Buhari's agenda for Nigeria.

He said, “To make those changes is not going to be easy. To turn around a bad situation is not easy. It is very, very easy for those who are greedy, for those who are looking for instant money in their pockets and reward in their stomach to think that change is easy.

“Change is not about the comfort of today but the success of tomorrow. Until we start to do these things ourselves we cannot progress. Who told you that we cannot make this cotton that we used in making these academic gowns for Nigerians by Nigerians”.

“When we were coming from the Sokoto Airport, we saw good arable land and therefore, we advised that, let’s begin to spend our money on irrigation so that no more rice is imported into Nigeria, rather it should be rice from Sokoto, Kebbi and other states.

“A nation is not a surviving country, until you can feed your citizens. But I rather go hungry than gain a corn from China or India.

“Let’s feed ourselves. Today, Buhari is at the helm of affairs of this country and his focus is that, I don’t care what dollar is but my own is not for toothpicks.

“Nigeria must be for Nigerians. Our resistances must come from our prosperity. Must come from our homes and the works of our hands. The best of our tomorrow in yet to come” Tinubu averred.
