Adejare Bello, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico, has stated that President-elect Bola Tinubu is not a religious bigot.
Bello stated that the Tinubu administration will ensure that Nigerians’ relationships are organic, built on the pillars of friendship, empathy, and togetherness, and free of political bitterness.
He stated that Tinubu is a leader who can unite all regions of the country, emphasizing that bringing everyone on board, regardless of religion or ethnicity, will not be difficult.
Bello stated that the President-elect will try to reconcile divergent interests and manage schisms, and that his character inspires hope and patriotism.
Despite opposition to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Muslim-Muslim ticket, he stated that the president-elect will be Muslim.
Bello said:
It is true that over the years, various administrations have struggled with the challenge of harmonising disparate interests and managing dissensions.
But what really matters is the will and the managerial amplitude which Tinubu possesses to respond to the problems.
Tinubu knows the country so well and is quite abreast with its cultural and historical developments and he is surrounded by brilliant Nigerians with sound minds; none you can fault in terms of intellect and understanding of the delicate issues in the country in different aspects of the economy.
This gives him an advantage not to play politics of ‘me and my people’. With Tinubu in the saddle, the relationship among Nigerians will be organic, one built on the pillars of friendship, empathy and togetherness devoid of political bitterness.
It is therefore a little wonder that he is so widely accepted by the people on the other side of the Niger from the wild reception his campaign train received all over the country.
