Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s president, has said that his rise to the country’s highest office was part of a divine plan.
Tinubu made the remark while reaffirming his dedication to good governance, respect for the rule of law, and the protection of democratic principles in Nigeria.
The president Tinubu spoke at the Presidential Villa during an interfaith iftar where he hosted members of the **All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee and leaders of the **Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC).
In a statement issued by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu stressed the need to strengthen electoral institutions, processes, and internal party systems.
He also called for the adoption of direct primaries, noting that the system would enable party members to play a more active role in selecting candidates for elective positions.
Describing himself as a committed democrat, the president pledged to keep 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.”
