Pan-African Unity Will Elevate the Black Race, Says Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has implored Africans across the globe to unite in forging a future imbued with “honour, promise, and dignity for the black race.”

Tinubu issued this call during a dinner held in his honour by Saint Lucia’s Prime Minister, Philip Pierre, on Tuesday evening in Castries.

A statement regarding the event was released by Presidential Spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, and disseminated to the press on Wednesday in Abuja.

Tinubu further urged Africans in the diaspora to leverage technology and innovation to propel significant social advancement.

“It is not the fault of our ancestors that we find ourselves scattered,” Tinubu remarked.

“We can collaborate, coexist, relish what we possess, and construct a future of promise, honour, and dignity for the Black race.

“I am unabashedly Afrocentric in my convictions. I have journeyed extensively, and no group is as industrious, resolute, and focused as black people globally.”

He emphasized the vital importance of synergy among Africans, nations, and those in the diaspora, particularly through technology and industrialization.
