“Let The Poor Breathe” and 9 Other Iconic Tinubu Quotes | Zikoko!

It seems Jagaban has pressed pause on waxing lyrical since he became the president. And we understand, Nigeria isn’t an easy country to govern — the work choke.

However, who can “forget the aspire to maguire” quotes that trailed the president’s campaign season? Our president was in his Socrates bag, and he had the best ones for real.

We decided to compile some of President Tinubu’s most iconic quotes.
