“My wife, as you have (seen) from the documentary, was one of the youths, who were criticising us, the politicians. She said ‘make politics sexy so that youths can participate’.
“I got to the podium and said look at my wife, if politics is not sexy, what is she doing here? Remi, thank you for tolerating my trouble,” he said.
On the economic crisis currently confronting Nigeria, Tinubu said that a “renaissance must come within” as the country has lands, minds and capacity to overcome challenges.
“Our renaissance must come within. We have the lands, we have the minds, we have the capacity, we have the intellect, we have the ability,” he said.
