President Bola Tinubu has assured Africans that the continent will be lifted from poverty by their leaders.
Speaking at the inauguration of President John Mahama of Ghana on Tuesday, January 7, Tinubu said African leaders are focused on building resilient economies across nations of the continent.
According to Tinubu, these African leaders are doing this at their own pace.
He said, “We have nothing to prove to anyone except ourselves. We have found the critical path to our success.
“We shall lift our nations out of poverty and build a resilient economy at our own pace,” Tinubu said.
He also stated that as African celebrates its democracy with the election and inauguration of Mahama as the president of Ghana, the country would continue to draw inspiration from the strength of Kwame Nkrumah and many of its past leaders.
We celebrate African Democracy today as Ghana and her beloved people mark the transition from one democratic government to another.
“This moment does more than symbolise another milestone in the evolution of Ghanaian democratic society,” he added.
