Those Who Want to Unseat Me Will Try. I Won’t Help Them Tie a Rope Around My Neck. We’ll Wrestle Till the End. All Is Fair in Politics — Pres. Tinubu Roars

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the remarks during a recent meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, where he addressed concerns about Nigeria’s political climate, governance, and the role of opposition parties.

Speaking candidly, Tinubu acknowledged the challenges facing his administration, stressing that many of the problems predated his government.

“The challenges are there. I inherited them. I didn’t run away from them,” the President said.

Addressing the country’s political atmosphere, Tinubu stated that attempts to unseat him were expected in a democracy but insisted he would not make it easy for his opponents.

“Those who want to unseat me will try. I won’t help them tie a rope around my neck. We’ll wrestle till the end. All is fair in politics,” he declared.

The President also maintained that his administration would not intimidate political opponents, dismissing claims of persecution as unfounded.

“We will never, never intimidate anyone. If political opponents cry wolf, maybe they are afraid of their own shadows, or it is their own incompetence, not me,” Tinubu said.

He added that while political competition is inevitable, he would not allow it to distract his government from its responsibilities, emphasizing the need for civility despite differing political views.
