Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, on Wednesday declared that President Bola Tinubu is more interested in the future of Nigeria than his political goodwill.
Sani made the claim on a programme on TVC’s This Morning show, on the topic, ‘State of the Nation Ahead of the 2027 Elections’.
He said, “Most of the presidents for years have tried to manage our problems and managing problems in that fashion as to avoid taking decisive actions that would be in the best interest of the future of the country.
“This is the first time that we have a President who is ready to take the bull by the horn by taking decisions and implementing policies that have the possibility of sweeping power under his feet.
“It’s in the history of every nation that has advanced to, at a certain point, in it’s own history, to take action in the interest of the future of the country. It’s clear that the President is more interested in the future of this country than his own political goodwill because as a politician, if you are in power, most people think let them do whatever they can to ensure that they are being loved and appreciated by people while preserving their own political peace.
“This is the one who is taking the bull by the horn and implementing painful reforms that have generated issues in the country and it’s one of the reasons why people are waking up against him.
“But if you look at the history of nations that have advanced, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, Thailand, and even South Korea you will see that at a certain point in the history of the nation decisions have to be taken – it may not be popular, it may come with pains and sacrifice but it has a far reaching benefit for the future of the nation.”
