Nigeria Must Resolve For Change ––Bola Tinubu


We do not pretend to have all the answers, but we love the people
and seek their best welfare. That alone distinguishes us from the
present lot in power. We know the kind of country we want to live in.
We have given the present group too much time already. Now that we
know their emptiness, we must work to be the part of change we want
to see.
Change will not come unless we work for it. We must build other
bridges across political divides and re-align forces to gather a critical
mass strong enough to push for change.
Nigeria today is an incomplete work, sometimes exhibiting more
retreat than progress, more problems than solutions. Some
people say we are doomed for failure. To them, I say their
prophecy is the one sure thing doomed to fail. We have stumbled
for long but very soon this nation shall stand as it should.
Let me therefore end with the memorable words of Edward Burke:
“In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do
nothing. That is the reality of Nigeria today. Let’s all get up and do
something for our country."
