President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said he would not be intimidated or distracted by criticism as he continues to lead the country. He made this known in Abuja while addressing members of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, a political mobilisation group set up to promote his administration’s agenda.
The President said he remains focused on his duties and is committed to continuing the reforms introduced by his government, which he believes are already producing results. He told the group that he is prepared to face challenges and remain in office to carry out his plans.
Tinubu also addressed ongoing political attacks from opposition figures and some groups who have questioned his performance and called for changes in leadership. He maintained that such pressure would not stop him from doing his work.
He spoke about his political journey, noting that he had faced tough moments during party primaries and the general election, but remained determined. According to him, leadership requires persistence and dedication despite difficulties.
The President also referred to his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, describing their relationship as one of partnership, while noting that his administration is working to fix existing challenges and move the country forward.
He urged Nigerians to respect the rule of law and support democratic institutions, including the judiciary, stressing that national development depends on unity and adherence to constitutional processes.
Tinubu further said his administration’s mission is to improve living conditions, reduce poverty, and strengthen democracy. He added that the opportunity to lead the country is a responsibility that must be handled with commitment.
The meeting also had in attendance Vice President Kashim Shettima and other top government and party officials, who joined discussions on mobilising support and advancing government policies across the country.
