PORT HARCOURT – A member of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, Chief Samuel Osuigwe, said transforming Nigeria required total support of the citizens to the government.
Osuigwe told newsmen in Port Harcourt, Rivers, that Nigerians needed to close ranks to ensure stable socio-economic and political climate.
According to him, Buhari’s victory is a victory for all Nigerians and this made it imperative for even the opposition to close ranks with him.
“The Nigerian project must be everybody’s interest and placed above selfish interests; it is time to rebuild Nigeria.
“This is not the time to start apportioning blame or mudslinging, but time to join hands and reposition the country to everybody’s advantage,’’ he said.
The Ohaneze member explained that Nigeria’s future could only be guaranteed by the collective efforts of all, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said that it was too early to contemplate opposition and ‘’very unfair to execute any kind of campaign of calumny’’.
He advised the President-elect to remain focused, adding that it was wrong for leaders to be vindictive.
He said that good leadership is the ability of the one in charge to discharge official duties without prejudice or bias.
Osuigwe emphasised the need for the president-elect to truly ensure that justice and equity were the watchwords of his administration, saying ‘’as president, every part of Nigeria is your constituency.
He also admonished Nigerians to be optimistic and patient with the incoming government, stressing that the future would ‘’most certainly be brighter than the past’’.
President Muhammadu Buhari
