2023 Presidency: Tinubu told to be open-hearted to Southeast zone

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Sam Nkire, has urged the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Bola Tinubu, to be “magnanimous in victory”, especially towards the Southeast geopolitical zone which has been alleging marginalization for a long time.

Nkire’s advice was contained in a statement sent to newsmen on Friday.

The APC stalwart also cited Tinubu’s pedigree, stating that the former Lagos State governor will make a good president.

In a piece of related news, former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, has congratulated Tinubu over his victory in the just concluded presidential primary contest.

Oshiomhole, in a statement he personally signed, said the victory is a reaffirmation of Tinubu’s capacity to headhunt, mobilize, motivate and empower the best minds, irrespective of their tribe or religion, and use their combined creative efforts to translate his vision into reality.

According to him, Tinubu represents a movement, force and radiating hope of a brighter future to come when Nigerians hand over to him the baton of leadership to him.
