“It is on your shoulder; it is on mine and we must build it together. I must and I will contribute handsomely personally to build and see to the completion of that institution because it reflects something”

Tinubu further stated, “I listened to the panelists, we appear to be in confusion about our national anthem. I heard about the second stanza from Kayode, Kayode had forgotten that we had one national anthem before that, it says “Though tongue and tribe may differ, but in brotherhood we stand. “
“And he sent me the second stanza too, it’s a pledge that Nigeria, I am ready to serve, it is about service to this country.
“We inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible but our diversity is a promise for prosperity,” he added.
The event was attended by high profile politicians including Tinubu running mate, Kashim Shettima; former President Goodluck Jonathan; the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; Governor Kayode among others.
