Urging every Nigerian to support him and work with his government, Tinubu reached out even to those who did not support his presidential ambition.
His words:
“Those who voted for me, I ask that you continue to believe in our policies and plans for the country. I also ask that you reach out to your brothers and sisters who did not vote as you did. Extend to them the hand of friendship, reconciliation, and togetherness.
“To those of you who did not vote for me, I ask you to believe in Nigeria and in the capacity of your fellow citizens, even those who voted differently than you. The better Nigeria I seek is not just for me and my supporters. It is equally yours.
“I do not ask you to abandon your political preferences. That would be undemocratic. I do beseech you to answer the call of patriotic duty as the loyal opposition."
Remaining true to a greater Nigeria
Also urging everyone to remain true to the cause for a better Nigeria, the president-elect promised to keep faith with his objective of serving all citizens.
He added:
“If we all play our proper roles, we shall begin the task of rebuilding our national home together, day by day, brick by brick notwithstanding our political differences.”

In a fresh statement, the LP's Chief Spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko lamented over President-elect Bola Tinubu's silence on the development.
Tanko, however, maintained that with such an attitude of Tinubu, it, therefore, means the former governor of Lagos state is the "main enabler".
