The Tinubu Stakeholders Forum (TSF) has praised President Bola Tinubu for his resounding commitment to Africa’s capacity to drive its development, as highlighted during his recent engagement with Rwandan President Paul Kagame in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
In a statement released on Thursday, the group’s Chairman, Mr. Ahmad Sajoh, described the President’s remarks as a continuation of his advocacy for Africa’s renaissance, recently echoed in his speech in Ghana.
“President Tinubu’s meeting with his Rwandese counterpart on the sidelines of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week reinforces Nigeria’s leadership as the driving force of African advancement,” the statement read.
Quoting Tinubu, the group noted his declaration: “Africa has what it takes to develop itself. We have the resources, the people, and the capacity. The time for Africa is now.”
“This rallying call emphasizes the need for intra-African collaboration and innovative leadership to maximize the continent’s immense potential,” TSF stated.
The forum emphasized that Nigeria, under Tinubu’s visionary leadership, is strategically positioned as the heartbeat of Africa’s transformation.
“Strategically positioned and uniquely equipped with abundant resources and human capital, Nigeria is not just the heartbeat of Africa but a pivotal force in the global economy,” TSF said.
It highlighted Nigeria’s role as a hub for trade, policy collaboration, and sustainable development, noting that Tinubu’s advocacy for African self-reliance aligns with the group’s mission to amplify his commitment to quality leadership.
TSF also lauded Tinubu’s policies aimed at fostering intra-African trade, economic cooperation, and sustainable practices, which they said galvanize African leaders toward a shared vision of growth.
The group further commended Tinubu’s leadership as Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS, particularly his efforts to promote peace and diplomacy within the region.
“His bold initiatives, particularly his decisive and collaborative approach to addressing crises within the West African region, underscore his commitment to safeguarding the stability and prosperity of the continent,” TSF added.
TSF also highlighted Tinubu’s engagement at global platforms such as the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, describing it as evidence of his strategic efforts to position Africa as a key player on the world stage.
“His focus on sustainable development, equitable trade policies, and fostering unity among African nations has further solidified Nigeria’s leadership within the continent and beyond,” the group noted.
TSF concluded by urging Nigerians and Africans to align with Tinubu’s vision of transformative leadership.
“Africa is not merely a participant in global conversations; we are architects of a future defined by innovation, collaboration, and prosperity. The time for Africa is now,” the group added.
