President Bola Tinubu revealed yesterday that he had trouble falling asleep on Wednesday night because he was so excited by the PEPT's decision to uphold his election.
The President informed his audience in India, where he was attending the G20 meetings, that Wednesday night was “a night of great expectationsâ€.
Tinubu said he was “waiting anxiously to see if my job was secured or notâ€.
“So, from that, out of the excitement of the victory, I couldn’t sleep,†he added.
The president, who apologised for coming in late to the meeting said, “When I looked at the time and the time difference between Nigeria and India is another problem. Then, my phone won’t stop ringing until I switched off very late afternoon.
“So, it was a very challenging day after; that was a hangover that I enjoyed and hope we all appreciate why we are starting late. Please forgive us.â€
Addressing the audience of prospective investors, he said, “We are here not to talk politics, but to present a future to you. The future of a country that is so rich, endowed, highly populated, very dynamic and unique in its culture. We are unique in our tradition, unique in our ethnicity, a country that we are determined to make its prosperity possible if only we use that God-given diversity for the prosperity of Nigerians.
“And we are sure to do that. That is what I am standing here to assure you. We are not in doubt; we can do it. And you heard the names of people that I mentioned, many of them are here in their private jets.â€
