Let me commence by welcoming you all to the Second (2nd) Extraordinary Summit on the Socio-Political Situation in the Republic of Niger, within the space of ten days. Your presence here, despite the short notice, demonstrates the unwavering dedication of our esteemed community to finding a lasting solution to the political situation in the Republic of Niger.

Nigeria is an interesting country and one with peculiar set of citizens. It is an intricate place to govern. Anyone, who is not prepared for leadership, but found themselves in political position of authority to lead, would be overwhelmed in no time with the kind of complexity in the nature of the country and its people. Sometimes ago, when the newly sworn-in President Tinubu was asked how he felt with the challenges facing the country as he took over, his response was epic and depicted someone who knew what he was getting himself into. He simply answered that “nobody should pity him because he asked for the job”.

Before and during his campaign days, the President of Nigeria, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu told everyone that becoming the country’s president was a lifelong ambition. He boasted of his agenda of readiness and competence to take Nigerians out of the woods, the backstage of suffering. At a point, he told Nigerians that he would build on Muhammadu Buhari’s achievements. Don’t forget that Nigerians were already suffering and building on that is “a killer.”
