“It was, indeed, a battle well fought which deserved commendation. I salute Asiwaju Tinubu’s courage, doggedness and political sagacity – it is a well deserved victory.
“In every contest, there will always be only one winner; this doesn’t necessarily make others losers. On this note, I salute the courage of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Rotimi Amaechi and other contestants who participated in the primaries.
“I am using this opportunity to urge Asiwaju to leverage on his emergence as the presidential flag bearer of the APC to resolve all the internal issues and disagreements emanating from the party and bring everyone together as one big family.
“Asiwaju needs to ensure that peace reigns within the party. However, this cannot be achieved except we allow internal democracy, justice, equity and fairness to prevail in our activities.”
