June 12: Disagree, criticize me, but don’t stop believing in Nigeria – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians never to stop believing in the country even while criticising and disagreeing with him.

Tinubu made this call on Friday during his nationwide broadcast to mark the 27 anniversary of Nigeria’s uninterrupted democracy.

According to him, democracy fails when citizens doubt the process, describing the National Assembly, judiciary, the press, and civil society as the guardrails of Nigeria.

“Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in the nation.

“To our young people, Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, work here, and eat here. Every great nation was built by those who stayed to solve problems, but not by those who abandoned ship.

“To our forces, police, and intelligence services, Nigeria salutes your sacrifices. To our traditional rulers, faith leaders, and community heads, thank you for your support of peace and reconciliation,” Tinubu said.
