…urges Obi, Atiku to be patriotic




A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Dr Olusegun Oshinkolu has called on the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to disappoint Nigerians who resisted the barrage of campaigns of calumny and blackmail to vote for him.

He ascribed his victory to competence, industry and network of political bridges he had built across Nigeria’s ethnic and religious hemispheres.

The former Director General, Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Council in Ekiti State, commended Nigerians for placing premium on his competence in the keenly competitive electoral battle.

He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for etching his name in gold by providing a propitious pedestal for Nigerians to express their franchises in the freest and fairest election in the country’s political history.

According to him, “This is one victory that we believe will rescue Nigeria out of the economic doldrums and socio- political woes.

“Asiwaju canvassed for votes with the mantra of Renewed Hope , which will touch areas like economy, infrastructure , education, security, health, agriculture and other pivotal economic nerve centres.

“Most exhilarating was his promised education loan for students and massive job creation. These will mitigate the number of school dropouts and empower millions of our productive population, who have become dejected and disillusioned with the system.

“It is also my humble advice that he composes his cabinet in earnest with Nigerians, who shared his vision and with glowing passion to work for Nigerians selflessly irrespective of their political, religious and tribal leanings. this forms part of the ways to bring the needed hope and unite the nation.

“Today, the country is on the verge of collapse and Asiwaju is seen as a Messiah by many. He should come with that mindset not to disappoint Nigerians , who resisted the barrage of campaigns of calumny and blackmail and voted for him.”

He thereby appealed to the Presidential candidates of the People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party, Peter Obi to be patriotic and cooperate with Asiwaju, saying “there is also dignity and honour in defeat.”
