…calls for caution, unity

365Daily – A security and political strategist and close associate of President Bola Tinubu, Jerry Nwohu, PhD, has called on Nigerians, irrespective of political and ethnic backgrounds, to rally round the president in a bid to finding lasting solutions to the nation’s multidimensional economic and security challenges.
Dr. Nwohu, who is also a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for the coming Imo State election, made this charge in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, September 7, in response to the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal verdict, which went in favour of President Tinubu.
While congratulating the President for the judicial victory, he described the ruling as a ‘no victor no vanquished’ situation, adding that all parties involved, including the citizenry, should accept the verdict in good faith in order for the government to forge ahead with real governance that would be beneficial to all.
He said further: “The judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which was given yesterday, September 6, 2023 was epic. The judges were painstaking in giving graphic details of the proceedings, as it involved all the parties and their counsels.
“The judgments were educating, informative, and provided the way forward to all concerned, depending on how each party decided to respond to the landmark judgments which took about twelve hours to deliver.
“The ruling should be accepted as a ‘no victor, no vanguished’ intervention in the litigation which involved the political parties. In the light of this, I will like to exercise some restraints in congratulating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
“My appeal, therefore, goes to the supporters of APC, Labour Party, and PDP to overlook the gulf which political campaign activities, prior to this moment, had created between them and put the interest of humanity and our communities above all considerations. Nigeria shall be great.
“Above all, nobody stands to gain anything if our country fails to work. So, Nigeria comes before any other interests or considerations. I appeal to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi to kindly heed the call to join hands to build a better Nigeria. There are countless good which Nigeria has in stock for her citizens if and when all hands are on deck. In brotherhood we should stand for a greater working Nigeria.”
