President Bola Tinubu has said that he is open to criticism but will not lose focus on his plans to move the country forward.
He made this known on Tuesday during the public presentation of Sule Lamido’s autobiography titled Being True To Myself, which held in Abuja.
Although he did not attend the event in person, the president was represented by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.
Many prominent Nigerians were present, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Vice Presidents Atiku Abubakar and Namadi Sambo.
The event was chaired by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
According to Tinubu’s representative, the president is ready to listen to feedback from citizens, especially when it is meant to help the country grow.
However, he will not allow distractions to stop him from carrying out policies he believes are necessary for national development.
He noted that while there is still a lot of work to be done, the government has started putting Nigeria on a better path through various reforms.
He admitted that the beginning was not smooth because of the tough choices made, but explained that those decisions were needed.
He said the country is now seeing early signs of better results, especially in terms of stabilizing the economy.
On the issue of security, the president said he would continue to do everything possible to protect the country and its people from threats.
He praised the military and other security forces for their dedication to keeping the country safe.
Speaking about the author of the book, Tinubu’s representative described Sule Lamido as someone who has remained firm in his political beliefs.
He noted that even though Lamido often opposes the government and speaks strongly against it, he is still seen as one of the important voices in Nigeria’s political history.
The event, he said, was not just about launching a book, but about honouring a life shaped by strong values and loyalty to democracy.
