A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC),
Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has declared that the President-elect, Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, is the only candidate whose campaign was not based on
ethnoreligious sentiments.
Mumuni, a former gubernatorial candidate of the defunct
Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) in Lagos State, made these disclosures
via a statement made available on Thursday through his media
aide, Rasheed Abubakar.
The chieftain, while congratulating the president-elect on
the occasion of his 71st birthday, which took place yesterday, remarked that
Tinubu founded formidable political platforms and mentored many great leaders
who are on top of their respective games all over the world.
Mumuni insisted that Tinubu, as governor, created structures from education to the judiciary, infrastructure, and transport, such as LAMATA, LASTMA, LASEMA, among others.
He said that the president-elect never entertains anything
that might cause division among the various groups and sections in the country.
He used the occasion to appeal to Nigerians to pray for a
peaceful transition and inauguration of the president-elect and other elected
public office holders in May.
He said, “Tinubu is the only candidate whose campaign at the
recently conducted presidential election was not founded on religious or ethnic
sentiments.
“Let me use the rare occasion to congratulate my uncle, Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, on his 71st birthday, the only candidate in the last presidential
election whose campaign was not founded on religious or ethnic sentiments.
“He never invites anything that might cause divide, reason
he is the only candidate who won six states each in the South and North.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of the foremost democrats
among his contemporaries, not just in Nigeria, but in the international scene
as well. His antecedent is one that marked great legacies and indelible marks.
“I therefore urge them to pray for a peaceful transition of
Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other elected officers in the coming weeks”.
