Tinubu's leadership qualities lauded
Nwifuru noted that while some candidates built their campaigns around religious appeals, Tinubu’s emergence showed that true leadership depends on sincerity of purpose.
“God chose President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be president of Nigeria contrary to the wishes and expectations of the opposition in 2023 God ignored others who contested on religious sentiments because God sees the heart of everybody. That is why He brought Tinubu,” he told party members.
The governor described the Tinubu presidency as divinely inspired and credited it with initiating economic reforms aimed at improving the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
According to him, Tinubu’s courage to make tough and sometimes unpopular decisions demonstrates the kind of leadership Nigeria needs at a critical period
