President Bola Tinubu has made a passionate appeal to Nigerians. He wants citizens to keep their faith in the country, even when they disagree with his policies.
The President made this call during his nationwide broadcast on Friday. The address was part of the celebrations marking 27 years of unbroken democracy in Nigeria.
Tinubu did not shy away from the fact that many Nigerians are frustrated with the current state of affairs. He openly invited criticism of his administration. However, he drew a clear line between criticising the government and giving up on the nation.
"Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in the nation," the President urged.
He warned that democracy cannot survive if the people lose faith in the process. According to him, the strength of the system relies heavily on the belief of the citizens.
Tinubu also highlighted the key institutions that keep the country on track. He described the National Assembly, the judiciary, the press, and civil society as the guardrails of Nigeria's democracy. These groups, he noted, play a vital role in maintaining balance and accountability.
The President had a strong message for the youth. Recognizing the growing trend of young Nigerians seeking better lives abroad, he urged them to stay and build their future at home.
"To our young people, Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, work here, and eat here," Tinubu said.
He reminded them that great nations are built by people who stay to solve problems, not by those who abandon ship when things get tough.
Finally, the President took a moment to appreciate those working to keep the country safe and united. He saluted the sacrifices of the armed forces, the police, and the intelligence services.
He also thanked traditional rulers, faith leaders, and community heads for their continuous efforts in promoting peace and reconciliation across the country.
