President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has raised concern about the state of development in Nigeria saying, “If Nigeria is still looking for vaccines for basic health issues; if infant and maternal mortality is rampant, then we should examine ourselves.”
Tinubu made this statement when he had an audience with the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs led by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the State House on Thursday.
The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, let this be known in his account of what transpired at the meeting.
Quoting his principal, Ngelale also wrote:“I must thank you for your several visits to Niger Republic, Your Eminence, but you will still have to go back. My fear has been confirmed in Gabon that copycats will start doing the same thing until it is stopped. We are neighbours with Niger Republic, and what has joined Nigerians together with their great people cannot be broken.
“Nobody is interested in a war. We have seen the devastation in Ukraine and Sudan. But, if we don’t wield the big stick, we will all suffer the consequences together.”
