The former Head of State expressed satisfaction with Tinubu’s leadership across key sectors, including politics, the economy, and social development, as well as efforts to tackle insecurity.
“As far as it goes, isn’t he doing the best he can all round? So there is no particular place. Every other area—political, economic, social, etc.—and of course, the major problem that we have today, security in the area, he’s doing everything to deal with those for the good of Nigeria,” Gowon said.
