According to a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, a presidential spokesperson, Tinubu disclosed this on Monday after meeting the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, led by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh.
President Tinubu called on Christian leaders to support the administration’s ongoing fight against corruption by encouraging Nigerians to have a change of mindset on money-related matters.
We have no other country but Nigeria. If you do not preach the sermon of understanding, tolerance, perseverance, and hope for Nigerians, you are damaging the country, and nobody will help us repair it.
“Let us dialogue because public condemnation of a nation does not make any citizen good. We must admonish Nigerians to have a change of mindset and not to make money our god or master. We will get to the Promised Land, and Nigeria will flourish.
“We are here to listen, and if you observe any inadequacies in my government, let us know. I am here today because of your prayers and the will of God Almighty.
“What I have challenged myself to do each day is to be fair to all Nigerians. I have had several criticisms, including the rationale behind the size of my cabinet.
“If you want efficient, mobile, and resourceful people, we must give people a load they can carry. If you combine too many ministries to save money, you will have a future of non-performance and no results.
“Nigeria needs to turn the corner to grow, and we must give people challenges they can manage, and that is what we are doing,” the President firmly stated.
In his remarks, Archbishop Okoh urged President Tinubu not to relent in providing good governance by ensuring security, inclusivity, and peaceful co-existence.
“You have extended a hand of fellowship to us, and we embrace you and your family with the love of Christ and promise to partner with you in nation-building, for the task is quite daunting.
“You will not stumble, and you will not fall. You have the sagacity to give leadership in battling our challenges and in turning around the fortunes of our nation, Nigeria, within a short time.
“You have shown that you are a listening leader, and we appreciate this.
“CAN has maintained an active presence at all levels, from the national to the grassroots, and we have remained non-partisan.
“You will always find our association as a ready and willing partner in nation-building,” Okoh said.

The 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) began nationwide on Thursday, with over 2.2 million candidates expected to participate across accredited centres.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The exam, conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), will run from April 16 to April 22 in multiple daily sessions.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, urged examination officials to remain highly committed and professional, noting that the success of the exercise depends largely on their dedication.
He gave the charge during a virtual final briefing for technical officers ahead of the examination, where he also praised staff, ad hoc personnel, service providers, and technical advisers for their roles in the successful conduct of the mock exam.
Oloyede said many of the issues recorded during the mock exercise were due to poor assessment of centres by some technical officials.
He further stated that incentive packages would be awarded to teams that perform exceptionally, particularly in handling exam materials and submitting timely reports.
Reiterating JAMB’s zero-tolerance stance on malpractice, he warned candidates against bringing prohibited items into examination halls.
He also disclosed that biometric verification and real-time monitoring systems have been deployed to protect the integrity of the exercise.
Candidates whose biometrics cannot be verified, he added, will be rescheduled to write the exam at approved centres.
Meanwhile, a NAN correspondent monitoring proceedings at Aduvie International School, Jahi, reported that the first session scheduled for 8:30 a.m. began slightly behind schedule at about 8:40 a.m.
