A member of the Security and Intelligence Committee of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has urged opposition candidates to accept the olive branch the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is extending to them.
The 2011 gubernatorial candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) in Lagos State enjoined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, and Mr. Peter Obi of Labour Party and other candidates to work with Tinubu, so as to move Nigeria forward.
He made these disclosures in a statement signed by his media aide, Rasheed Abubakar, a copy of which was made available to Media Talk Africa on Friday.
He added that he has confidence that Tinubu would drive shared prosperity and development in Nigeria.
He then urged the opposition candidates among whom are Atiku and Obi and other candidates to work with Tinubu, so as to move the country forward.
Mumuni in the statement, expressed satisfaction that he was part of Tinubu’s success story.
He urged opposition candidates to accept the olive branch the president-elect is extending to them and work with him.
He described Tinubu’s victory as hard-earned and well-deserved.
Mumuni said, “I urged opposition candidates to accept the olive branch the president-elect is extending to them and work with him.
“It has been a long, tortuous journey for him. His battle to the presidency could be likened to the memorable 1974 fight between Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier. Very tough and intriguing. It’s humbling that it ended very well.
“Asiwaju is my very close uncle. His victory is very personal to me because we are always on a good rapport. I can attest to his vision, good leadership, listening and management skills.
“He will contribute meaningfully to the development of our nation. He will also drive shared prosperity and turn around the fortunes of Nigeria. He has shown the capacity in building Lagos State and making it a cynosure.
“The Asiwaju I know runs an open door policy. Nigerians should also support him in his mission to renew their hope and consolidate on the good legacies of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.”
