APC leader implores Obi, Atiku to back Tinubu’s unity government

In order to work with President Bola Tinubu’s government of national unity for the benefit of the nation, Okpokwu Ogenyi, a pillar of the All Progressives Congress, has urged the presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar; and the New Nigeria People’s Party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The appeal follows the dismissal by the court on Wednesday of the petitions filed by the Allied Peoples Movement and Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.

Ogenyi urged Obi and Atiku to look above the legal processes and consider how they could assist Tinubu in delivering the “Renewed Hope” he promised Nigerians. Ogenyi, who arrived to the court with numerous APC members on a solidarity walk, made the request.

They (Atiku and Obi) are also Nigerians, he added. They ought to abide by the court’s decision and support the president. As Chief Olabode George, who long criticized the president, shown, Mr. President is a friendly individual. In anticipation of the general election, Chief George declared that he would move to Ghana if Bola Tinubu won. He is still residing in Nigeria now and benefiting from democracy there under the same president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We are stating that Peter Obi, Kwankwaso, and Atiku are all welcome to serve in this administration. Because all we want is for the Nigerian system to succeed and advance, which we thought would be possible under the presidency of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Further, the national coordinator of the Coalition for Good Governance and Change Initiative told The PUNCH that he had never doubted that Tinubu will win the 2023 presidential election again.

Ogenyi’s belief was based on the president’s outstanding accomplishments during his first 100 days in office.

“He was able to sign the Students Loans Act into law during his first 100 days in office. By reestablishing ministries and giving them the proper responsibilities, he was able to diversify the Nigerian economy within his first 100 days in office and take steps to mitigate the effects of the subsidy removal. Asiwaju has made great progress in his first 100 days in office. Nigeria is now a major player in the world, and the United States has invited him to speak in a side session during the current NUGA match in Portugal.

“We would like to express our gratitude to the Justices of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal for their so far sound ruling. We are Nigerians because of providence, and God the Almighty sent President Asiwaju to end the suffering of the Nigerian people. Asiwaju has made a lot of promises, and he is keeping them, the man said.
