Former Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta has called on the Nigerian president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinibu that as he assumed the office of the president, he is now a father to all Nigerians where a fatherly role of uniting his children is expected of him. Kenyatta made these remarks while speaking at the inaugural speech today ahead of the May 29th transition that will usher Tinibu as the new Nigerian president.


He noted that since elections have been won and lost, the task of governance now lies ahead for Tinibu irrespective of tribe, political affiliation, and ethnicity of all Nigerians, good governance should be the watchword. 

In his statement, the former East African leader said, “The contest is now over and the hard work of building a prosperous and unified Nigeria now begins,” he said as a keynote speaker during the event. 

“Upon assuming the office of president, you would be wise to transcend from the tactical politics of an election and assume your role as Nigeria’s vision bearer. 

Kenyatta continued, “This will demand a complete overhaul of the adversarial mindset that we as politicians are conditioned to embrace during the electoral process. 

“As president, you must learn very quickly to lead those who love you and those who don’t with equal passion and commitment because now, you are the father of all” He concluded.
