An aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has
asked members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop repeating
some angry words uttered by the party’s presidential candidate during his
campaign for the ticket.
Onochie said repeating those words keeps the wounds fresh,
saying many are hurting.
She said Tinubu himself have started reaching out to those
who contested the ticket with him because Buhari told him to be magnanimous in
victory.
Onochie said it would be childish on their part to keep
throwing those words around and keeping the wounds still fresh.
She advised party loyalists to move on from those days when
the party was very balkanized along lines of different aspirants, saying “we
need everybody to come on board.”
Her words: “When President Buhari said the aspirant who wins
the presidential candidacy of APC must be magnanimous in victory, Sen. Bola
Ahmed Tinubu took him seriously and reached out to those who ran with him in
the Presidential Primary race. He reached out to them.
“We too must act as adults if we are going to win everyone
back. It’s not right to keep repeating those words said in anger by our leader,
Asiwaju. This is because many of our people are still hurting. It’s childish on
our part, to keep throwing those words around and keeping the wounds still
fresh.
“Let’s move on from those days when the camp was balkanised
along lines of different aspirants. We need EVERYONE OF OUR PEOPLE TO COME ON
BOARD. Some are reluctant because we are still throwing those words in their
faces, constantly.
“Like our leader, Asiwaju himself has done, reaching out to
those he defeated, let’s be magnanimous in victory by reaching out in a matured
way to everyone we know.
“That’s what I’ve been doing, anyway. The result has been
amazing. Together, we will win.”
