He highlights the need for collective efforts to shape a better future for Nigeria, calling on all to commit to peace and reject any form of violence or division.
President Tinubu concludes by encouraging continued progress towards shared goals of prosperity and justice. He emphasizes that together, the nation can overcome challenges and work towards a stronger, more united Nigeria.
