Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that his emergence as Nigeria’s president was part of a divine plan.
The president made the statement while reaffirming his commitment to good governance, adherence to the rule of law, and the preservation of democratic values in the country.
Tinubu 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 issued by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu emphasised the need to strengthen electoral institutions, processes and systems across political parties in the country.
The president also advocated for the adoption of direct primaries, stating that the system would enable party members to participate more actively in selecting candidates for various political offices.
Describing himself as a committed democrat, Tinubu pledged to continue working toward national 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 National Democratic Coalition. I followed the leadership destiny that God has chosen for me. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
