Uhuru Kenyatta, Former President of Kenya, has urged Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, after his inauguration to use his office as a force to bond Nigerians together irrespective of tribe, religion and culture.
Kenyatta made this known on Saturday while delivering a keynote address at the presidential inauguration lecture held ahead of Tinubu’s swearing-in on May 29.
He said that the onus now falls on the incoming president to unite all citizens irrespective of their religion, tribe, political and other affiliations.
The former Kenyan President stated, “The contest is now over, and the hard work of building a prosperous and unified Nigeria now begins.”
He said, “Upon assuming the office of president, you would be wise to transcend the tactical politics of an election and assume your role as Nigeria’s vision bearer.
“This will demand a complete overhaul of the adversarial mindset that we as politicians are conditioned to embrace during the electoral process.
“As president, you must learn very quickly to lead those who love you and those who don’t with equal passion and commitment because now, you are the father of all.”
President elect, Tinubu is expected to e inaugurated on the 29th of May at the Eagle square in Abuja.
