The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been admonished to, as a matter of priority, address the suffering and anger of Nigerians as soon as he is sworn in as the President and Commander in Chief of Nigeria.
A non-denominational group, Christian Conscience, made the call on Sunday in a statement signed by its national chairman, Dr (Mrs) Yetunde Akinluyi, and the National Secretary, Dr Kolawole Verrals.
The group said the tension and suffering in the land must be doused.
It said it sought food, security, basic infrastructure jobs for youths as promised during electioneering campaign.
“Don’t be a winner takes all President, but form a government of inclusiveness where Nigerians will have sense of belonging,” the group said.
The group commended Tinubu for offering those that contested against him the opportunity to join him in nation building, as stated in his acceptance speech after he was declared winner of the presidential election.
It added: “Though you have done it before with your achievements in Lagos as Governor, now with your emergence as President-elect, all eyes are on you, both within the country and inthe comity of nations.
“Just like Abraham in the Bible who was father of Nations, Asiwaju Tinubu should see himself as father of all and ensure that the lingering suffering in the land is tackled head on. Let the administration be fair, just and God-fearing in all policies and actions.”
While congratulating Lagosians for the peaceful conduct during the presidential elections, the group enjoined the electorates to vote for continuity in Lagos so that more dividends of democracy would be enjoyed by the people.
“We enjoin Lagosians to continue to live in peace and in harmony. We should not allow elections to divide us. Nations can only progress in the midst of love,” the group added.
