President Bola Tinubu has begged Nigerians to stop speaking negatively about the country. He recently revealed that Nigeria is a nation of proud, confident, and dedicated people destined for success.
Speaking at the reopening of the renovated National Theatre, now the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts, which coincided with the nation’s 65th Independence Anniversary, Tinubu shared that the landmark’s revival is proof that the nation can overcome problems and achieve greatness.
Professing that Nigeria will not fall while he is President, he urged citizens to learn to put the country first and believe in its potential to succeed.
“Let’s believe in Nigeria, let’s put this country first. If you have a bad dream, forget it—Nigeria will succeed. This is the giant of Africa; it won’t fall, it won’t disintegrate in my hands,” he said.
He further noted that the theatre’s rebirth will create jobs and expand opportunities in the creative economy.
Tinubu concluded by encouraging Nigerians to believe that the storm is over and prosperity is very close.
“The worst is over; we have turned the corner. With proper management, prosperity will come,” he added.
