Abuja, Sept. 13, 2023 – Pauline Tallen, a former Minister of Women Affairs, on Wednesday advised Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to join hands with President Bola to build Nigeria.
Obi and Abubakar were presidential candidates of Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), respectively in the 2023 general elections.
The two presidential candidates also lost their petitions at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal last Tuesday as the tribunal upheld Tinubu’s victory.
Tallen described Tinubu’s victory as “God’s project for the nation’s unity and stability.”
Tallen urged Obi and Atiku to accept the verdict of the tribunal and ignored insinuations that the presidential election was manipulated.
‘’The emergence of Tinubu as Nigeria’s President is a God’s project for the nation’s unity and stability.
“Recall the issues that preceded his election, like the controversial naira redesign, and the vicious campaign of calumny, among others which would have truncated his ambition.
“But somehow, in spite of all these odds against him during the campaign, he still emerged as the winner.
“This is a confirmation that leadership comes from God and when God designs it, nobody can stop it.
“In any contest, there is bound to be a winner and a loser; it is okay that they challenged the election’s outcome in court, which is within their constitutional rights but Tinubu is now reconfirmed by the tribunal as president.
“In the interest of Nigeria, if we all love Nigeria and we all plan to serve and build this country to an enviable height, we should all join hands and build a nation of our collective dreams.
“They have their ideas, but Tinubu also has his ideas. If we all put these ideas together on the table and work with him, I believe we will all be better off for it.”
She expressed optimism that Tinubu’s presidency would make a positive impact on the country.
