My Reforms Have Created Hardship -Tinubu Begs Nigerians in Democracy Day Broadcast

 

President Bola Tinubu has begged Nigerians to be patient with him while admitting that his reforms have created hardship for Nigerians.

 

He stated this in a national broadcast to commemorate the 2024 Democracy Day and the 25th year of uninterrupted democratic rule in the country.

 

He said that as a beneficiary of the historic efforts of the heroes of democracy, he was morally bound to preserve the present form of government.

 

“Even more than that, I pledge to do whatever is necessary to cement democracy as our way of life,” he said.

 

The President thanked Nigerians for the opportunity to lead the country and promised not to turn his back on them.

 

He called on Nigerians to beware of those trying to exploit the current challenges in the country to undermine and destroy the democracy for which so much had already been given.

 

According to him, as Nigerians, we must remind ourselves that no matter how complicated democracy may be, it is the best form of governance in the long run.

“These people do this not to make things better but to subject all other people and things to their control and dominance until the point that, if you are not counted among their elite, then your life will be small and no longer owned by you,” he said.
