“Forces of evil will never prevail over our country,” he emphasized. “With the courage and commitment of our gallant men and women in uniform, we are turning the tide and making steady progress.”
On the economic front, Tinubu acknowledged the hardship many Nigerians are currently facing but expressed optimism over signs of economic recovery. He reassured the public of ongoing efforts to stabilize key sectors, attract investment, and build an inclusive economy.
“We are grateful for your patience and resilience,” he said. “We are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence and deliver a better standard of living for all.”
