President-elect Bola Tinubu has asked governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to work closely with the Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee NWC and lawmakers on the election of principal officers of the National Assembly.
Tinubu gave the directive on Thursday in Abuja when he met with the governors who paid him a courtesy visit.
He said; “We thank God Almighty for our electoral victory. It was tough and turbulent.
“The challenge before us is working in unison with the party leadership and the National Assembly over the election of their principal officers. And I charge you to unite in spirit and faith and work in line with the party.”
However, a statement from the Office of the President-elect signed by Tunde Rahman indicated that Tinubu told the governors and former governorship candidates of the party that “whether you return or not, this is our government”.
“Once we know what we are doing and communicating as elected leaders and loyal party men, we will conquer the challenge”, he added.
He also reiterated his earlier admonition that, as leaders, they were elected to serve the people with fairness and justice, expressing gratitude to God that he, “the first Muslim minority from the South-West got the blessing of Allah to be elected president.”
