OnThisDay, four years ago, Thursday June 2, 2022, Presidential aspirant Bola Ahmed Tinubu made his now famous "Emi Lo Kan" speech in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, ahead of the APC presidential primaries.
#Profess good things onto yourself
Welcome to Windsor! π¬π§π³π¬
It was wonderful to welcome President Tinubu and First Lady, Mrs. Tinubu to Windsor Castle earlier today.
They joined The King and Queen for a Ceremonial Welcome in the Quadrangle, where President Tinubu was invited to inspect the Guard of Honour.
Political calling is one of the hardest callings. It demands:
Thick skin
Emotional restraint
Strategic silence
Patience under misunderstanding
Ability to lose battles without losing purpose Which 95% of Nigerian politicians currently lack.
@BwalaDaniel
I can confirm it held. I was there, absolute well done on your composure and intelligent manner you handled the moderator yesterday at the head to head with Mehdi Hassan. I'm well impressed. @officialABAT
I have traveled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way. Efforts to embolden separatists hurts Christians in Nigeria - especially in the North and Middle Belt.
A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.
I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ - and for that matter, all Nigerians - suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.
The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations.
God bless you all.
Over the course of a two-day high-level Working Group engagement, I welcomed senior U.S. government officials and reaffirmed Nigeriaβs appreciation for the strong partnership with the United States. These sustained engagements reflect a mature, trust-based relationship focused on protecting civilians, promoting religious freedom, and addressing shared security challenges.
This morning, I received a U.S. Congressional delegation on a fact-finding mission to Nigeria, following our earlier engagements in Washington, D.C., on shared security priorities.
Nigeria stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty.
Since 2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across faiths and regions.
The characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians.
Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it.
Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths.
Our administration is committed to working with the United States government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation on protection of communities of all faiths.
BOLA AHMED TINUBU
PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
Nigeria is off the #FinancialActionTaskForce (FATF) Grey List!
A major step forward in strengthening our financial integrity and global reputation.
This milestone reflects the countryβs sustained reforms in combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes. Congratulations Nigeria π³π¬.
