Ndigbo Strongly Backing Tinubu’s Inauguration – Groups
By Abdulsalam Mahmud
The South East Support Group, SESG, and the Coalition for Peace in Nigeria, COPIN, said that the May 29 inauguration of President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains sacrosanct.
The SESG Coordinator, Ohaegbulam Barnabas; and National Coordinator of COPIN, Akwuobi Emeka disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja, on the forthcoming inauguration of Tinubu as Nigeria’s President.
Contrary to public opinion, they said, Ndigbo, from independent investigation, are more solidly behind the swearing-in of the President-Elect, than any other geo-political entity.
They vowed to deploy all legitimate tools at their disposal, including creating awareness and sensitization, towards ensuring a successful presidential transition, on Monday.
“Our resolve is buoyed by the realization – contrary to erroneous reports in some quarters – that the South East geo-political entity may not be fully supportive of a Tinubu Presidency,” they added.
According to Barnabas and Emeka, Tinubu will stimulate manufacturing, necessitating investment opportunities for productivity and growth.
They said: “We have no doubt that the much-anticipated Bola Tinubu Presidency will usher in ‘renewed hope’, build a Nigeria, especially for youths, where sufficient jobs with decent wages, will be created.
“We want to conclude by calling on all well-meaning Nigerians and lovers of peace, to sheathe their swords, and rally round the President-Elect, in order to ensure a Hitch-Free inauguration on May 29”.
