God Chose Me’ — Tinubu Speaks On Becoming Nigeria’s President

President Bola Tinubu has stated that his emergence as
Nigeria’s president was part of a divine plan.

Tinubu made the declaration while reiterating his commitment
to good governance, adherence to the rule of law, and the preservation of
democratic values in the country.

The president spoke 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 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.”
