I’ve Never Heard Tinubu Complain of his Inherited Challenges – UN DSG
Nigerian-born UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, has disclosed that she has never heard President Bola Tinubu complain about the challenges he inherited from his predecessor when he assumed office as president.
She stated this at an award dinner at Nigeria House in New York to celebrate Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary and the Independence Day Parade and Carnival.
Mohammed added that even though Tinubu always said it was his turn (Emi lo kan) from his 2023 election campaign, he fought hard to get to that seat.
According to her, so far, Tinubu is the president of Nigeria and it was God that put him on the seat.
“But he also told us that he wasn’t going to complain about what he got. I have not heard him complain. People around him complain about what he inherited but he doesn’t.
“It is, therefore, incumbent upon us to get behind him and do the best we can for Nigeria. Except you’re trying to tell me that God made a mistake,” she said.
She, however, congratulated Nigeria and Nigerians on the 65th independence anniversary, saying that the future is bright for the country.
The deputy chief urged everyone to put in the effort to build the country rather than pull it down.
She added; “if we get into the pull- down syndrome, then who else is going to pull us up?
“What else are we telling our children? What else are we telling people that we want as our partners?
“If we are the first people to say that we’re no good, we’re not good enough, and I hope that we just stop doing that. This is because Nigerians are the hardest working, most ambitious, and proud people.”
