THE incoming president, Bola Tinubu, stated today that maintaining Nigeria’s unity is non-negotiable and promised to treat everyone equally.
Tinubu spoke during the commissioning of the Magistrates’ Court Complex in Port Harcourt, the state capital of Rivers, at the request of Governor Nyesom Wike.
The president elect as he finished a two-day official tour to the oil-rich South-South state stated today that Nigerians must accept one another.
Despite not belonging to the same political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) power broker claimed that he and Wike, a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are promoting unity.
Tinubu said, “I will fulfil the promise I made to the people of Rivers State and that is what I intend to do in all policy formations coming up.
“I promise Nigerians that the unity of this country is not negotiable. That is what Wike and I are promoting jointly. I promise I will be fair to all.”
Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, also promised to review the welfare of judges after he is sworn in on May 29, 2023.
“The reform is on the way,” he said, addressing legal luminaries at the occasion and tasking them on the culture of maintenance.
“I am here with the hope that you will collaborate with me. I promise you (of) my commitment to fulfill all political promises that I made.”
Tinubu was in the state alongside the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; as well as APC governors and former governors.
