According to President Bola Tinubu, he encountered Nigeria in 2023 as a sick patient who had just learned that he had cancer.
During his nationwide broadcast on Thursday to commemorate Nigeria’s 66th Independence Day anniversary, Tinubu made the declaration.
He claimed that by enacting strict reforms that previous leaders—including his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari—failed to carry out, he is following a different course.
By 2023, Nigeria resembled a sick person who was told the devastating news that he had cancer.
They allowed the illness to spread deeply throughout our society while concentrating on its symptoms.
“We spent a lot of money maintaining ineffective arrangements that were never meant to last.” We shied away from hard realities and handed the fallout down to the next generation,” he remarked.
