Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Governor of Lagos State, has
ruled out the possibility of Nigeria’s disintegration, urging Nigerian youths
to work together to address the nation’s challenges.
The elder statesman who spoke at a democracy lecture
organized by the Nigerian Youth Congress said Nigeria currently sits at a
crucial junction amid the various challenges facing the country.
Tinubu was represented by James Faleke at the lecture with
the theme “Nigerian Democratic System and Good Governance: The Journey So Far,”
held on Thursday in Abuja.
He said, “Nigeria sits at a crucial junction. Do we advance by doing what is right, or do we stagnate by settling for what is easy?

“Our nation’s journey is one of the continuous struggles. We
have struggled many times, yet never shall we fall. We are Nigerians and shall
remain so.
“Of course, much work needs to be done. But it is time to
recognize the points at which we fight ourselves. It demands further reforms
and evolution.
“We need to continue to transform and improve so that we
perfect good and effective governance in Nigeria for all citizens.”
Tinubu added, “Our youths are the engine by which our future
and protection will be powered. Our journey to date will be further defined by
your efforts and actions.
”This journey should not and cannot be a destructive
process. We must manage the necessary change in a peaceful and democratic
manner and ensure the continued unity of our nation, its people, and collective
potential.
“To perfect good and effective government is not going to
come solely from the Nigerian elites. It will virtually come from the youths.
“This is not a time for you to falter. It’s time for you to stand up and help push this great nation forward. It is time for Nigeria to evolve.”
