Philanthropist and oil mogul, Tein Jack-Rich, has called on Nigerians to rally behind President-elect Bola Tinubu, stating that he is optimistic that Tinubu will set the country on a path towards development and progress.
Speaking at an inauguration and goodwill message to Nigerians in Abuja over the weekend, Jack-Rich emphasized the crucial role of a united front in supporting the incoming President, stating that this would signify a significant transition in the nation’s progress.
Jack-Rich also spoke of Tinubu’s capacity to unite people from different backgrounds across the country, declaring that his presidency will benefit all Nigerians, regardless of their political, religious or ethnic affiliations.
He urged all Nigerians to put aside their differences and unite in support of the new government, especially those with reservations about Tinubu’s presidency.
“All Nigerians need to come out en mass to support our incoming president because we have succeeded in going through a tremendous and consistent transition of the 4th Republic,” Jack-Rich stated.
In his message, Jack-Rich recognised that change is difficult, and many may feel like their hearts are broken, but he insisted that such a transition is for the good of the nation.
“Do not hate me for what I said, it is for the good of all, because I know when the president-elect is sworn in, he is going to be for all irrespective of political, religious or ethnic affiliations,” he said.
Jack-Rich’s call comes at a time when the country is grappling with an uncertain economic future, with many Nigerians lamenting ever-worsening living conditions and high unemployment rates.
As an aspirant for the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket, his support of President-elect Tinubu is significant, especially in the context of the party’s internal divisions that erupted during the primaries.
In conclusion, Jack-Rich called on all Nigerians, and not just those affiliated with the APC, to come together and support Tinubu’s presidency.
