Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state and his counterpart in Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has appealed to Nigerians to rally round the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying the time for politics is now over.
Gatekeepers News reports that the duo made this appeal while speaking to journalists after meeting with Tinubu at the Defence House in Abuja on Friday.
“Elections have come and gone. The winner has emerged and therefore is it necessary for all Nigerians to give him the necessary support for the interest of Nigeria.
“I am confident that he has what it takes to turn Nigeria around,” the governor said.
Oyo Governor also re-echoed his Rivers counterpart’s comment.
“I came here to basically pay homage to the President-elect and to let him know that elections are over and this is (time for) governance and we would do our best to give him support for the good governance of Nigeria,” the Oyo governor noted.
Makinde, Wike and other members of the PDP G-5 did not back their party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, insisting that the position should return to southern Nigeria after eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
They maintained that that Atiku from the northern region of Nigeria, same as Buhari, is unqualified to contest the election.
