2023 Presidency: Top Igbo group congratulates Tinubu

The 2023 Presidential election would go down as one of the most dramatic, and bitterly contested polls in the country’s history, and it seems the drama is not over yet as aggrieve contestants have since headed to court.

The election which was won by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has since divided the country and the bitterness is still being felt.

However, in a move that appears to be a bid to unite the country, the youth wing of the Igbo Social Cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigho has congratulated Tinubu.

In a statement that was made available to reporters the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike insists it is time for the country to get over the elections and start the process of healing and progress.

He said:

“Congratulate Ahmed Bola Tinubu on his victory at the keenly contested election.

“It was a hard-fought victory; the election shook emotions across the country and at the end of it all, Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged victorious. We heartily congratulate him and urge others to do the same.

“Those who feel aggrieved with the outcome of the election are already before the tribunal; so the ideal thing is to allow the law to run its course.

“So, anyone nursing the idea of an interim government should drop it completely as it is dead on arrival.

“We don’t expect a divisive government from the incoming President; he should be a truly national leader and it should reflect in his actions and words; that is the only way the country can truly move forward.”
