Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s president-elect, has pledged to sacrifice his life for Nigeria and Africa as he mounts the saddle on May 29.
Tinubu made the pledge on Saturday while presenting his inaugural speech in Abuja. This was contained in a release from the office of the president-elect, which was made available to our correspondent in Abuja.
Tinubu, represented by Vice-President-elect Kashim Shettima, quoted Tinubu as saying that, “Democracy is more than a system of governance; it is the very lifeblood that empowers a nation to flourish and thrive.
“We stand at the precipice of a new era, where the ideals of democracy will guide our path toward sustainable development. Democracy, my fellow countrymen, is not only a political system; it is a way of life.
“It embodies a distinctive code of thought and conduct, demanding the utmost integrity and self-improvement from leaders.
“Today, I stand before you, ready to dedicate my entire being to the service of our great nation and the African continent. Our democracy is not an abstract ideal; it is a practical vessel that will propel our nation to new heights in every facet of our collective existence.”
Tinubu’s inauguration lecture is part of activities lined up towards the inauguration of the new government on May 29.
