President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has boldly stated that criticism from the opposition will not distract him from his responsibilities as Nigeria’s leader. Speaking during a condolence visit to Benue State
“They hate me like hell, but I’m their President.”
The remark was made in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, where the President met with stakeholders in the wake of recent violent attacks that claimed hundreds of lives in the region.
Addressing traditional rulers, political leaders, youth representatives, and grieving families, Tinubu stressed that he remains unshaken by public criticism and stands firm in his commitment to leading every Nigerian, regardless of political affiliations or opposition sentiments.
“I am not worried about what they say about me. Leadership is not about being liked — it is about being responsible.”
The President’s visit comes after a wave of violence in Benue, with over 200 lives lost in attacks attributed to armed herdsmen. His appearance in the state was both a symbol of solidarity and a pledge to prioritize security in Nigeria’s most affected communities.
President Tinubu’s statement may spark further national debate, but it underscores a clear message: He intends to lead decisively — with or without applause. As Nigeria grapples with insecurity, economic challenges, and deepening political divisions, the President’s visit to Benue could signal a renewed effort to unite a grieving and divided country.
