- Says time for politics is over.
- Says it’s now time for governance
President Bola Tinubu has urged state governors to cooperate with the federal government in effort to foaster unity and progress in the nation.
In a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson on Thursday night, he said Tinubu spoke during Ramadan fast-breaking evening meal, with some governors at the state house in Abuja.
The president called on state governors to set aside political differences and focus on governance.
Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties facing the nation, but expressed optimism about the future.
He said the challenges are beginning to respond to the solutions being implemented by his administration.
”I am glad that the headwinds are almost over. The tunnel is not as dark as when we started. It is going to be brighter and brighter. We must communicate with each other, stick together, and share joy,” the President said.
Tinubu emphasised the importance of transitioning from politics to governance, noting the need for unity and cooperation among all stakeholders.
”Since we recognize the need to build our nation together, the time for politics is over. It is now time for governance.
”We are of the same family and parents; living in the same house, but sleeping in different rooms. We must cooperate and spread love among each other.”
Tinubu urged Nigerians to use this solemn occasion for reflection, prayers, and charity towards others.
AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, governor of Kwara also praised federal government for distributing 42,000 tons of grains and pledged state responsibility for worker wage payment.
”Wet season farming is almost here, and I want to implore all governors to engage in the farming business, so that we can all appreciate the challenges of ordinary farmers and ensure that we have a bumper harvest at the end of the farming season,” he said.
