Pauline Tallen, former minister of women affairs, has asked Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to join hands with President Bola Tinubu to build Nigeria.
Speaking in an interview with NAN on Wednesday, Tallen said Tinubu’s victory is a “God project for the nation’s unity and stability”.
Last Wednesday, the presidential election petitions tribunal upheld Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 poll.
The tribunal ruled that the petitions filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Obi of the Labour Party (LP) were “all devoid of merit”.
Tallen asked Obi and Atiku to accept the verdict of the tribunal and ignored insinuations that the presidential election was manipulated.
‘’The emergence of Tinubu as Nigeria’s President is a God project for the nation’s unity and stability.
“Recall the issues that preceded his election, like the controversial naira redesign, and the vicious campaign of calumny, among others which would have truncated his ambition.
“But somehow, in spite of all these odds against him during the campaign, he still emerged as the winner.
“This is a confirmation that leadership comes from God and when God designs it, nobody can stop it.
“In any contest, there is bound to be a winner and a loser; it is okay that they challenged the election’s outcome in court, which is within their constitutional rights but Tinubu is now reconfirmed by the tribunal as president.
“In the interest of Nigeria, if we all love Nigeria and we all plan to serve and build this country to an enviable height, we should all join hands and build a nation of our collective dreams.
“They have their ideas but Tinubu also has his ideas. If we all put these ideas together on the table and work with him, I believe we will all be better off for it.”
She expressed optimism that Tinubu’s presidency would make a positive impact on the country.
