Without God, I wouldn’t have been President – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has described his journey to the presidency as a challenging path marked by numerous obstacles, attributing his success to perseverance and divine guidance.

Speaking at the 15th National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja on Friday, Tinubu reflected on the difficulties faced by both his campaign and the nation in the period leading up to the 2023 general election.

He noted that Nigerians endured severe economic and social strains, including food shortages, the currency redesign initiative and widespread fuel scarcity, which resulted in long queues at petrol stations.

“I faced obstacles on my path to the presidency,” Tinubu said, recalling that many citizens struggled to afford even a single meal each day.

Despite these setbacks, he credited God for his rise to leadership. “God brought us here. I am a symbol of that God because, without Him, I wouldn’t be here,” he stated.
