The president-elect said that being the nation’s next president is a dream he spent his life perfecting. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday disclosed that he won’t squander his mandate of being president.
Tinubu’s sober reflection, titled “My 71st Birthday Message to Nigerians,” raised a lot of hope. Further, he vowed not to disappoint Nigerians when it matters most. This is coming one week after his media officer, Tunde Rahman, announced that the president-elect had departed the country for a vacation in Paris, France’s capital.
Also, Rahman noted that after a short rest in Europe, Tinubu may stay back. He would like to observe Ramadan’s fast before heading for Umrah in Saudi Arabia. Until his media aide cleared the air, social media platforms rumoured that the president went abroad for medical attention.
However, Tinubu reiterated in his birthday message that his swearing-in ceremony in two months would signify his preparation for the task ahead. The former governor expressed gratitude to God for another year. Additionally, he stated that Ramadan couldn’t have come at a better time.
In exactly two months, on the 29th of May, Tinubu’s term in office will begin. He added that it was a rare privilege. Indeed, he is not taking it lightly.
Finally, as far as birthday gifts go, Tinubu said that the opportunity to lead Nigerians is the greatest gift. A chance to lead and fulfill destiny. Lastly, an opportunity to champion your aspirations and bring about the Nigeria of your dreams.
