EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a statement shared on his 𝕏 handle, Tinubu said Nigeria has yet to experience its best days and called for unity among leaders to deliver hope and development to the people.

“Tonight, I hosted our State Governors to an interfaith breaking of the fast as Muslims observe Ramadan and Christians journey through Lent.

“In this sacred season for two of the major faiths in our dear country, we are reminded that beyond politics and policy, we are first a people of conscience. I commended the Governors for their efforts so far and for the various outreaches they have carried out this holy month. But I also challenged them to do more.

“To reach the young man who feels forgotten. To lift the woman who carries her family on tired shoulders. To touch the communities at the grassroots. Development must not recognise religion. Compassion must not recognise tribe. Opportunity must not recognise status.

“I am determined to rescue this country. And as long as we work together in delivering hope to our citizens, the best is yet to come for Nigeria. What I promised Nigerians will not be postponed.

“Security is the foundation of prosperity. Without it, farms cannot flourish, businesses cannot grow, and families cannot sleep in peace. We will establish state police to curb insecurity.

“This is not about politics. It is about practicality. It is about empowering states with the tools to protect their people while strengthening our national framework.

“We must be bold enough to reform what is not working. We must be united enough to protect what we hold dear.

“Nigeria will be safer. Nigeria will be stronger. And together, we must commit to making it so.

“Nigeria First.”

Tinubu stressed that security remains central to economic growth and national stability, noting that empowering states through the creation of state police would strengthen the country’s overall security framework.
