Times are hard all over the world at the moment and this is mostly due to the coronavirus pandemic that has been raging for some months now. Many countries have had to make tough decisions and also present their citizens with a symbol of hope anytime they can.

Every time the president of such countries wants to address its citizens, they usually hope for good news but that has not been the case for some countries.

Don’t read speech today. Speak to Nigerians from your heart.”
