She assured that the change the nation desires would require patience, love, hardwork and selflessness to fully manifest, noting that adherence to the rule of law would be meaningful to the party’s pursuit of a better Nigeria.

Tinubu said this on Tuesday in Lagos at a town hall meeting titled: New Chapter, Renewed Hope, convened to interface with the members of her constituency.

The event which was the 15th edition, was a platform to update her constituents on her activities in the Senate since the inception of the 8th Senate.

Tinubu at the forum which witnessed the presentation of scholarships to beneficiaries of her Post-Secondary School Scholarship Scheme, PSSS,   also gave an up to date account of the constituency development projects initiated in the seventh Senate.

Those at the event include; Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, Sen Maniru Muse, Lagos State APC chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale, Deputy Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly; Mr. Wasiu Eshilokun-Sanni, Mr. Wale Edun and Mr. Tajudeen Olusi among others.

According to Tinubu: “Our theme for this town hall meeting is timely and pregnant with meaning. We all craved for a better Nigeria and worked towards it as manifested by the result of the last general election, which saw our great party emerging victorious at the state and national levels.”

‘’This is the time for us to rededicate ourselves to get Nigeria to our promised land. It is time to differentiate the goat from the sheep and the wheat from the chaff. All hands have to be on deck to achieve that new Nigeria we voted for.
