Real Reason I Ran For President – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has disclosed why he contested for the highest political office in Nigeria.
Recall Tinubu, had on Wednesday, September 6, defeated his petitioners at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja.
Tinubu, however, was in India for the G-20 Summit while the much anticipated Tribunal judgement was being held at the Appeal Court premise in Abuja yesterday.
During an interactive session with several Nigerian students studying in India, on Thursday evening, Tinubu said Nigeria was experiencing setbacks not because it was poor in knowledge and human resources but because it was poor in management and leadership, which was why he ran for president.
He said: “We are here to present a new future to you. A future of a country that is so rich, endowed, and highly populated. Very dynamic, and unique in its culture, tradition, and ethnicity.
“That is what will make our prosperity possible if only we can make use of our diversity for prosperity.
“We are not poor in knowledge. We are not poor in human resources. We are only poor in management and leadership, and that is why I ran for president, to help all of us mould the soul of our country in the right direction.”
Tinubu admonished the students that with dedication, honesty, determination, and a change of mindset, they can reach for the top in their respective careers.
The Nigerian leader called on Nigerians to harness the country’s rich diversity as a uniquely powerful tool for advancing prosperity and national development for the benefit of all citizens.
