President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on the governors of the 36 states of the federation to set aside political differences and collaborate with the federal government to build the nation.
Speaking during the breaking of Ramadan fast with governors at the State House in Abuja Thursday, the president emphasized the importance of transitioning from politics to governance, noting the need for unity and cooperation among all stakeholders.
”Since we recognise the need to build our nation together, the time for politics is over. It is now time for governance.
”We are of the same family and parents, living in the same house, but sleeping in different rooms. We must cooperate and spread love among each other,” he said.
Highlighting the significance of the holy month of Ramadan and the Lenten season for Christians, the President urged Nigerians to use this solemn occasion for reflection, prayers, and charity towards others.
Acknowledging the difficulties facing the nation, the President expressed optimism about the future, noting that the challenges are beginning to respond to the solutions being implemented by his administration.
”I am glad that the headwinds are almost over. The tunnel is not as dark as when we started. It is going to be brighter and brighter. We must communicate with each other, stick together, and share joy,” he said.
Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Kwara state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq commended the federal government for distributing 42,000 tons of grains.
