President Bola Tinubu has admitted that his reforms have created hardship for Nigerians. But he added that they are necessary to bring about the needed change the country had longed for.
Tinubu made this declaration in a national broadcast to commemorate the 2024 Democracy Day and the 25th year of uninterrupted democratic rule in the country. He said that as a beneficiary of the historic efforts of the heroes of democracy, he was morally bound to preserve the present form of government. “I stand uniquely placed in this regard. I was among those who took the risk to midwife the birth of our democracy.
The President thanked Nigerians for the opportunity to lead the country and promised not to turn his back on them. He called on Nigerians to beware of those trying to exploit the current challenges in the country to undermine and destroy the democracy for which so much had already been given. According to him, as Nigerians, we must remind ourselves that no matter how complicated democracy may be, it is the best form of governance in the long run.
