President Tinubu has opened up about the hurdles he faced on his path to becoming Nigeria’s President, describing the journey as difficult and demanding.
The President spoke on Friday while hosting members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, during a Sallah homage at his residence in Lagos.
Tinubu thanked governors who supported him during his presidential bid, praising their loyalty and perseverance throughout the process.
Reflecting on the experience, he said he chose to confront the challenges head-on rather than back down, despite the pressure and uncertainty surrounding his ambition.
“Instead of dodging the bullet, I took it. I took a punch in the chin, a very hard one.
“We stuck together the time I faced the challenge of trying to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“It was very challenging. It was tough for those who were with me. Some kept faith.
“I decided to take the effort to campaign. I didn’t disclose to anybody what I would do. Many of you took the risk and went ahead with me because of the party platform and everything,” he said.
