The United Nations (UN) Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, has said she has not heard President Bola Ahmed Tinubu complain about the challenges he inherited from his predecessor since he assumed office as President.
Mohammed said this at an award dinner at Nigeria House in New York to celebrate Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary and the Independence Day Parade and Carnival.
The UN deputy chief said President Tinubu “fought hard to get to that seat”, even though he said “it was his turn”.
She added: “But he also told us that he wasn’t going to complain about what he got. I have not heard him complain.
“People around him complain about what he inherited, but he doesn’t.”
Mohammed stressed that Tinubu “is the President of Nigeria. It is God that put him on that seat. It is, therefore, incumbent upon us to get behind him and do the best we can for Nigeria, except you’re trying to tell me that God made a mistake”.
The UN deputy secretary-general congratulated Nigeria and Nigerians on the nation’s attainment of its 65th independence anniversary.
She expressed the confidence that the future is bright for the country.
She called for concerted efforts to build the country and not pull it down.
