President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday told a visiting Congressional delegation from the United States led by Senator Cory Booker that as the giant of Africa, Nigeria had suffered from leadership elephantiasis.
He said he is determined to change it and ensure that the nation adheres to principles of democracy and the rule of law.
He said: “Nigeria, as the giant of Africa, had suffered leadership elephantiasis years back. I am determined to change that. Adhering to the principles of democracy and the rule of law is very important to us. I wonder how democracy will survive if we do not fight for it. I fought for this democracy. I risked my life for it. Military truncation of democracy is unacceptable. The power of our citizens is and must remain supreme.”
The president told the delegation in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja that his administration is committed to deepening democracy and expediting the sustainable provision of good governance, justice, and fairness to all Nigerian citizens.
