President Bola Tinubu has recounted the difficulty he encountered on his journey to become Nigeria’s President.
Tinubu made the revelation on Friday in Lagos when he received members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, on a Sallah homage at his Lagos residence.
He thanked some governors who started the journey with him, appreciating their patience and resilience.
“Instead of dodging the bullet, I took it. I took a punch in the chin, a very hard one.
“We stuck together the time I faced the challenge of trying to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“It was very challenging. It was tough for those who were with me. Some kept faith.
“I decided to take the effort to campaign. I didn’t disclose to anybody what I would do. Many of you took the risk and went ahead with me because of the party platform and everything,” he said.
