My appeal to us, the good people of Nigeria, is to see the good in the outcome of this election. It’s natural for losers to be aggrieved but it’s a strong sense of leadership and selflessness at this point for the winner to reach out to the others for the sake of Nigerian unity. Any act capable of destabilising the country at this time should be avoided. All the rampaging thugs fomenting trouble should be checked to keep Nigeria one.
I am worried about the future of this entity, Nigeria. The narratives of and reactions to the just concluded presidential election and it’s aftermath have further confirmed that we as Nigerians are far from being united.
The outcome of the election has transformed most of us to tribal bigots. This is a phenomenon that might sound the death knell of our country and deny us of the peace we earnestly crave as a nation.
