President Bola Tinubu has stated that he fought hard for the democracy Nigeria is currently experiencing.
He stated this at the Presidential Villa in Abuja during an interfaith iftar where he hosted members of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside leaders of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC).
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the president said that God chose a leadership destiny for him.
He reiterated his commitment to good governance, adherence to the rule of law, and the preservation of democratic values in the country.
The president emphasised the importance of strengthening electoral institutions, processes, and systems across political parties.
Tinubu also advocated for the adoption of direct primaries, saying the system would allow party members to participate more actively in choosing candidates for various political offices.
Describing himself as a committed democrat, the president pledged to continue working towards Nigeria’s unity while upholding the rule of law.
“Some of us had been bruised struggling for it. We were detained, we protested, we had street demonstrations, we went into exile and all of that. We formed NADECO. I followed the leadership destiny that God has chosen for me. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
