Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has finally congratulated President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Labour Party, respectively.
Both the PDP and the LP candidates are before the Presidential Election Tribunal seeking to upturn Tinubu’s emergence.
In a statement made available to DAILY POST on Monday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the time of electioneering was over.
Okwu said the Igbo youths “congratulate Ahmed Bola Tinubu on his victory at the keenly contested election”, adding that it was time to close ranks and work with the President-elect to restore the lost hopes and glory of the country. The time for politicking is over.
He noted that, “it was a hard fought victory; the election shook emotions across the country and at the end of it all, Bola Ahemed Tinubu emerged victorious. We heartily congratulate him and urge others to do same.”
The Igbo Youth President equally said proponents of an interim government should jettison such an idea as Nigeria has to move forward regardless of how anyone feels about the outcome of the polls.
