Bola Tinubu, the president of Nigeria, has explained his motivations for running for the nation’s top political position.
In Abuja’s Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, Tinubu on September 6 defeated his petitioners, as had been previously reported.
Tinubu, on the other hand, was attending the G-20 Summit in India while yesterday’s much-anticipated Tribunal judgement was being delivered at the Abuja headquarters of the Appeal Court.
On Thursday evening, during an interactive session with several Nigerian students studying in India, Tinubu claimed that the reason Nigeria was having problems was not a lack of knowledge or human resources, but rather a lack of management and leadership. This was the reason he decided to run for president.
We’re here to give you a fresh outlook on the future, he said. Future prospects for a nation with its wealth, resources, and size. In terms of culture, tradition, and ethnicity, it is very dynamic and distinctive. If we are only able to use our diversity for prosperity, then that will be what will enable our prosperity.In knowledge, we are not lacking. Our human resource pool is not lacking. We only lack effective management and leadership, which is why I decided to run for president: to work with everyone else in shaping the nation’s soul in the right directions.
The students were warned by Tinubu that they could succeed in their chosen fields if they put effort, integrity, willpower, and a different mindset into practise.
To advance prosperity and national development for the benefit of all citizens, the Nigerian leader urged Nigerians to take advantage of the nation’s rich diversity.
Yusuf Tuggar, the minister of foreign affairs, spoke on behalf of President Tinubu and outlined the four Ds that comprise his foreign policy strategy. One of these Ds, called “Diaspora,” aims to raise the standard of care provided to Nigerians living abroad by Nigerian embassies and missions.
“Delay in obtaining a passport will no longer be a problem. Your passports will be ready in a reasonable amount of time. Another benefit is that you serve as Nigerians’ first point of contact with the outside world. Our growth is limited by the potential of our workforce. For this reason, Tuggar emphasised how crucial it was for you to consistently portray Nigeria in a favourable light both online and off.
Ahead of time, Tony Elumelu, the chairman of Heirs Holdings, told pressmen that Nigeria was the best place to invest and that betting on Nigerians was one of the best bets one could ever make, citing Nigerian success around the globe.
We have faith in Africa and Nigeria in particular. Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, released a statement on Thursday evening that quoted Elumelu. “An investment in Nigeria promises a return that is scarcely found anywhere in the world, and I conduct business across several continents.
