Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-political group, has urged Bola
Tinubu, president-elect, to hit the ground running and live up to his words.
In a congratulatory message signed by Jare Ajayi, the
publicity secretary, Afenifere said a lot is expected from the incoming
administration.
“The incoming administration must hit the ground running
with sustainable welfarist programmes, ousting terrorism and banditry, and
putting an end to nepotism with round pegs in round holes,” Afenifere said in
the statement issued on Friday.
“The administration must bring down the hyper-inflation in
the country, make sure fuels are available at very cheap prices and artificial
bottlenecks in the financial sector resulting in cash crunch is removed.
“It must create an
atmosphere for all Nigerians to be able to realize their potentials wherever
they are and without infringing on the rights of fellow Nigerians, especially
natives of a given area as is happening in some parts of the country presently.
“It is hoped that the Bola Tinubu government will not
disappoint Nigerians. It will govern in a manner that will make citizens speak
with pride at being a Nigerian as he promised in his acceptance speech.
“We are confident that Tinubu has the capacity to accomplish
these as he promised.
“We are hopeful that he will be able to harness the
requisite political and sundry other wills to give us a true federal Nigeria
where people are truly in control of their affairs.”
Afenifere described Tinubu’s victory as one that should
further unify the country.
“Garnering substantial votes from five of the six
geo-political zones demonstrates that the mandate given to Tinubu and his vice,
Sen. Kashim Shettima can re-invent Nigeria as a truly federal yet united
country,” the group said.
“A country in which every section and every citizen would
have a sense of belonging without regard to any other consideration such as
religion, language spoken or where the person comes from etc.”
The group asked Tinubu to embark on policies that will heal
“the deep wounds in the country” as soon as he is sworn in.
