Tinubu: Critics Insult Me, But I’ve Drawn Strength From It

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said on Wednesday that he has learned from those who make fun of him all the time.
This was said by the president at a town hall meeting with political leaders in Benue State, where at least 100 people had recently been killed by armed herdsmen.
They will insult me no matter what I do. Since I can’t see everything, I read the publications and take note of their comments,” Tinubu stated.

He said to Hyacinth Alia, the governor of Benue State, “Your political rivals do not want you to be successful. Are you only now becoming aware of that?

He urged regional leaders to cooperate.
“We can’t function without another.

To develop a plan for enduring peace, I will want us to immediately establish a leadership council that will convene in Abuja. And I’m prepared to make an investment in that tranquility,” he declared.

Additionally, the president gave Alia instructions to collaborate with all parties involved and take on the role of a father figure to all residents of the state.

In order to assist in determining a course for peace, he declared the formation of a Committee of Elders, which will comprise the present governor of Nasarawa State and all previous governors of Benue.

In an effort to resolve the ongoing farmer-herder conflict, Tinubu also requested the governor to grant ranching property.

Tinubu urged all Benueans to come together and cooperate in order to achieve enduring peace.

In addition, he urged traditional leaders to work together with the government to bring about peace and stability.

“Be prepared for insults—that is the yoke of leadership,” Tinubu advised Alia. Obtain your lamp. Look for those leaders and work together to solve problems.
