Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson, says the victory of Bola Tinubu, president-elect, at the presidential election is a difficult reality for the opposition.

Shehu spoke on Thursday when he hosted a group called the Arewa Young Lawyers’ Forum (AYLF) in his office in Abuja.

The presidential spokesperson said under an opposition administration, most of the successes recorded by President Muhammadu Buhari would be reversed.

“This is a difficult reality for the opposition parties,” Patience Tilley-Gyado, the state house’s deputy director of information, quoted Shehu as saying.

“APC victory in the election is a watershed moment for the Buhari government, its orientation, its programmes and projects.

“In the hands of the opposition, many of the laudable programmes of the Buhari administration would have been sabotaged or unimplemented.

“An important and overlooked aspect of the Tinubu/Shettima victory is that it ensures, not only an orderly transfer of power from the outgoing administration to the incoming one, but also the safety of policies and programmes of the outgoing government.

“For this, we remain grateful to the almighty, and to citizens of Nigeria for sticking with our party.”

On his part, Olayinka Dauda Jimoh, chair of AYLF, said the presidency should support the training of young people to enhance their leadership capacity.
