President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his commitment to repositioning the country and creating wealth for generations, saying his focus was not on the 2027 election but on how to make Nigeria great for generations.
Tinubu said this at the All Progressives Congress (APC) South-West Zone Assembly in Lagos State on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
The event was hosted by the Chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Tinubu, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, said he was being pained by the hardship in the country but assured Nigeria would get better.
Tinubu added that he took some tough decisions for the good of the country.
The president said: “For every moment in a country, a particular leader is produced for that time. This is the time to produce a leader who is courageous.
“The challenges of our country are diverse and immense.
“When a man has a strong conviction of what he is doing, he pursues it.”

Tinubu said he had love for Nigerians and would continue to listen to them and do what would be good for the citizens.
Speaking at the event, Sanwo-Olu said: “We have come as one big family to explore more ways to work together.
“It is to share ideas and agree on strategies to take South-West to greater heights. We are blessed with assets and more positioned to move the country forward.”
The governor appealed to the APC leaders and other members to give adequate support to the Tinubu-led administration.
“We should strive to forge ahead,” Sanwo-Olu added.
The keynote speaker and immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, said the South-West APC should be ready to forge a united front.
Fayemi said: “I am convinced that APC will remain strong to accomplish the business of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President.
“APC remains the only successful party that emerged from the cohesiveness of four different political parties. That is history; we must continue to protect what makes us thick.
“Our congress should be regular, within specific time frame. Our party is the framework in which we thrive as the ruling party.”
