Democracy will survive, though opposition undermine its values – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has said democracy will survive in Nigeria. Also, he accused the opposition politicians of undermining democratic values while claiming to uphold them.
President Tinubu made the remarks on Tuesday at the State House while receiving a high-level delegation from Enugu State, led by Governor Peter Mbah.
Tinubu said: “We will do everything to ensure that the Nigerian dream is realised. The hope you enunciated in your remarks is not a pipe dream. It’s real and achievable, and we’ll achieve it together.
“Democracy will survive despite all intimidation. Ignore the naysayers. Stay focused. When you succeed, and they are angry, let them be.
“I do not lose sleep over criticism because we are committed to building a nation of bright hope for our children.
“These are leaders who had privatised electricity, which is not working. They gave us darkness, and we are trying to get through it.
“To build a nation of bright hope and joyful people and leave our children with a life worthy of pride.
“But they don’t even believe in the democracy that they preach all about. Don’t pay attention to them because I don’t.
“We stay on our lanes. We stay focused. We build our life on people, the welfare, the prosperity, and the promise of today and tomorrow.”
He also praised Nigeria’s economic potential as a leading force on the continent.
“When you look at the indices around African growth and economic opportunity today, Nigeria is still leading. And it is with the contributions of people like you that is making it so.”
On national progress, Tinubu said: “It’s not a one-man occasion. It’s a collective effort at the national, sub-national, and local government. Please do more for the local government,” he said.
Tinubu commended Governor Mbah on tackling insecurity and improved healthcare, education, and infrastructure in the state.
President Tinubu thanked the delegation for their support, noting that testimonies of growth and infrastructural development from various states validate the impact of his administration’s economic reforms.
