‘I Took Over from Myself’ – President Tinubu Speaks On Replacing Buhari

President Tinubu says he took over from himself as Buhari was his partner.

Philips News reports that President Bola Tinubu has said his administration is a continuation of that of his predecessor, late Muhammadu Buhari.

The Nigerian leader, who described the late former President Buhari as a partner, said he took over from himself.

President Tinubu made the remarks while addressing the 36 state coordinators of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) during a meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Speaking, the President described Buhari as a partner in leadership, stressing that the transition between both administrations should not be seen as a break but a continuation.

His words: “The truth is I took over from myself. The late Buhari is me; he was a partner. If I took over from him, is that not from myself?”

The President acknowledged the challenges facing the country, urging Nigerians and members of the RHA to remain patient and committed to ongoing reforms.

“If something is wrong, fine live with it, correct it, move on. It’s not going to be easy,” Tinubu stated.

President Tinubu further assured supporters that the sacrifices being made would yield positive outcomes, expressing confidence in his leadership and vision for the country.

“So many of you that are travelling with me, I can stand before you, you will not regret it,” he added.

Meanwhile, PhilipsNews reports that the meeting had top government officials, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, All Progressives Congress, APC, governors, and party leaders in attendance.
