After his emergence as the President-Elect at the just concluded presidential election, the All Progressives candidate, Bola Tinubu has set up committees to reconcile aggrieved presidential candidates.
This was disclosed by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State and a member of the committees, Richard Olatunde on Wednesday.
He said a Committee of Elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would soon begin to meet with co-contestants of the President-elect in a bid to assuage their loss in the just concluded poll.
He stressed that every aggrieved person will be met for reconciliation.
According to him, “the President-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together,” the governor stated.
Tinubu promised in his acceptance speech on Wednesday to extend olive branches to his co-contestants.
“I take this opportunity to appeal to my fellow contestants to let us team up together. It is the only nation we have. It is one country and we must build together.
“Whether you are Batified or Atikulated, Obidients, Kwankwasiyya or have any other political affiliation, you voted and struggled for a better Nigeria, more hopeful nation and I thank you for your participation and dedication to our democracy.
“You decided to place your trust in the democratic vision of a Nigerian founded on a shared prosperity and one nurtured by the ideas of unity, justice, peace and tolerance,” Tinubu said.
