President Bola Tinubu recently disclosed that he nearly withdrew from the 2023 presidential race due to personal doubts and external pressures. During a special Iftar at the Presidential Villa, Tinubu recounted a late-night visit from a relative who highlighted the hardships caused by the naira redesign policy, suggesting that Tinubu's candidacy was exacerbating economic difficulties. This encounter led Tinubu to question his campaign's viability. However, encouragement from supporters like Aminu Masari, who urged him to persevere, reinforced his resolve to continue.

Upon assuming office, President Tinubu faced immediate economic challenges, notably the removal of the fuel subsidy. He described this decision as painful but necessary to prevent further economic decline and emphasized that reinstating the subsidy is not an option.
These revelations provide insight into the personal and policy challenges President Tinubu navigated during his campaign and early presidency.
