The presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party for the general elections of 2023, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively, have been urged by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to collaborate with him in order to guarantee Nigeria’s stability and advancement in 2024.
The election is finished, Tinubu said, adding that everyone must contribute both individually and collectively for Nigeria to reap positive rewards in the new year.
In his Monday national New Year’s broadcast, he made this claim.
His words: “For the new year to yield all its good benefits to us as individuals and collectively as a people, we must be prepared to play our part.
“The job of building a prosperous nation is not the job of the president, governors, ministers, lawmakers, and government officials alone. Our destinies are connected as members of this household of Nigeria. Our language, creed, ethnicity, and religious beliefs, even when they are not the same should never make us work at cross purposes.
“In this new year, let us resolve that as joint heirs to the Nigerian Commonwealth, we will work for the peace, progress and stability of our country. I extend this call to my political opponents in the last election. Election is over. It’s time for all of us to work together for the sake of our country.
“We must let the light each of us carries—men and women, young and old—shine bright and brighter to illuminate our path to a glorious dawn.”
