A faction of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has congratulated the president-elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory in the just concluded presidential election and urged him to reach out to other contestants in the spirit of sportsmanship, advising “that the national healing process should begin with the president-elect personally reaching out to Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi in person and not by proxy.
The group in a statement by the Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said: “Ndigbo urges the president-elect not to victimise any section of the country who voted against him but as the new political leader of the country, he should ensure that Nigerians especially, Ndigbo are accommodated in the distribution of public amenities and provide an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the country. We call for the formation of Government of National Unity (GNU). These are the ingredients that will soothe frayed nerves and restore peace across the country.We retract our earlier stance on Governor Sanwo Olu and also urge the governor to provide adequate security across all markets in Lagos State.”
