Awka, Anambra state - The Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, His Eminence Dr Oliver Ali Aba, has urged Nigerians, especially the political class, to accept Tinubu's victory in good faith.

His words:
"All that I am saying is that every Nigerian must have what we call shock absorber, and we must agree to move our country forward. Nigeria is the hope of the African continent. When other African countries see us, they call us their father. Why must Nigeria not show example, and act like father to these countries?
"Nigeria is the giant of Africa. So, we must live by what we are. I am asking that the day of inauguration, May 29, must be a day of democracy in Nigeria and should be violence-free.
“All we know is that one person must be there, and not two persons at a time. Whether we are right or wrong, we must join hands to build a better Nigeria for the future; especially those yet unborn. We must provide a credible society for them.
“We have been with these politicians for long, and they are only looking for permanent interest, and we must not create trouble for this country - and we must not beat the drums of war through our actions and inactions. All we know is that God is with us, and God loves Nigeria, and God will keep Nigeria together."
Lai Mohammed tells opposition parties to accept defeat
Meanwhile, in an earlier report by Legit.ng, the federal government asked opposition parties to stop their endless crying about the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, told Obi and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP to accept that they lost woefully.
He said they were defeated by Tinubu due to overconfidence and complacency. Mohammed added that Tinubu won the presidential election fair and square by clinching the majority of the votes.
