Nigerians Shouldn't Expect Government Of National Unity But National Competence – President-Elect, TinubuThe former Lagos State Governor stated that his team had been daily engaged in discussions and meetings over how to drive good governance in the country.
Tinubu said, “As your incoming president, I accept the task before me. There has been talk of a government of national unity. My aim is higher than that. I seek a government of national competence. In selecting my government, I shall not be weighed down by considerations extraneous to ability and performance. The day for political gamesmanship is long gone.
“We have bridges and roads to build not just for commerce and travel but to connect people of different faiths, parties, and different outlooks in harmonious dialogue and common purpose. “We have water to replenish not just to quench physical thirst but to ignite a thirst for creative and better solutions to society’s challenges. We have a nation to protect such that we eliminate danger and even the fear of danger. May all of our people be able to live their lives in the light of peace and the glow of broadening prosperity,” Tinubu stated.
He urged Nigerians to embrace and work with his government, reaching out to those who did not support him in the election.
