Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu says his journey to the presidency is a challenging path marked by numerous obstacles, adding that his success hinges on perseverance and divine guidance.
Tinubu who spoke at the 15th National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja on Friday, reflected on the difficulties faced by both his campaign and the nation in the period leading up to the 2023 general election.
He acknowledged that Nigerians endured severe economic and social strains, including food shortages, the currency redesign initiative and widespread fuel scarcity, which resulted in long queues at petrol stations.
The President added that despite these setbacks, he credited God for his rise to leadership.
While emphasising the importance of faith and gratitude, he tasked Nigerians to remain patient and thankful amid difficulties.
He used the opportunity to call for unity, tolerance and resilience to safeguard Nigeria’s democracy, urging both leaders and citizens to show compassion and create space for others.
The President warned against forceful imposition of one’s will in governance and reaffirmed his belief that ultimate leadership is determined by God.
