"You must help Nigeria take its rightful place globally": Kenyatta tells Tinubu

LEGIT NG

The former President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, has revealed that there is a huge task ahead of Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he prepares to be sworn in as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Kenyatta gave this charge on Saturday, May 27, at the inauguration lecture in Abuja in honour of the president-elect.

The former Kenyan leader said Tinubu’s role is much bigger than most people think, as he is now the ”father of all” and the “Symbol of unity” for Nigeria and the African continent.

As reported by Channels TV, he said:

“Upon assuming the office of president, you would be wise to transcend from the tactical politics of an election and assume your role as Nigeria’s vision bearer.“This will demand a complete overhaul of the adversarial mindset that we as politicians are conditioned to embrace during the electoral process.“As president, you must learn very quickly to lead those who love you and those who don’t with equal passion and commitment because now, you are the father of all.”
