Some former presidential candidates in the 2023 general elections have pleaded with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to include them in his ‘Government of National Competence’.
OsunDailyNG reports that the opposition presidential candidates met with the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, on Thursday, begging for inclusion in the administration of President Tinubu.
Some of the presidential candidates who met with Ganduje at the National Secretariat of the party included those of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Democratic Party (ADP), National Rescue Movement )NRM) Action Peoples Party, APP, among others.
The presidential candidate of NRM, Felix Osakwe, who spoke on behalf of the Forum of Concerned Presidential Candidates, said they are for the peace and development of Nigeria, hence their refusal to challenge Tinubu’s victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).
Recall that Tinubu, before his swearing-in as President, called for a Government of National Unity and would go beyond that to establish a ‘Government of National Competence’.
It Is Not Possible For President Tinubu To Lose At Tribunal
Meanwhile, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has given reasons why he believes it is impossible for President Bola Tinubu to lose at the election petition tribunal.
Wike, who supported Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election, said he believes God supports what they did during the election and won’t turn against them.
He added that the lawyers are also doing their work at the tribunal, and he believes the outcome will not be against President Tinubu.
OsunDailyNG reports the former Rivers State Governor made the submission during an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday.
