Senate President Lawan begs opposition parties to work with Tinubu’s Gov’t
The Senate President Ahmad Lawan has called on opposition political platforms to work with the incoming administration of the president elect Senator Bola Tinubu to develop Nigeria.
The SP said the elections have been concluded, and therefore the opposition camps need to cooperate and work with the incoming government.
He made this revelation in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital on Friday April 28 while welcoming the officials of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) led by its Secretary General, Georges Robelo Pinto Chikoti.
He implored the opposition members to work with the incoming government to ensure that it fulfils its promises for the people.
He said, “By the 29th of May this year, our president, current president, and current administration would have finished his tenure but we will have another administration coming and that is not going to be an issue because it is a government that is being replaced by another government from the same political party.
“And of course here in Nigeria, so far, the opposition has been very supportive. The minority leader is here. We have enjoyed very excellent relationship in the parliament.
“We work for our country regardless of our political platforms and I will take this opportunity to call on all opposition in Nigeria to team up with our new administration for the development of our country.
“Elections are over and what is left is governance and governance is for everybody. What is necessary, what is very critical and important today is how we are able to come together as a people regardless of our political platforms to ensure that our country is taking to the next level of development.”
“The partnership that we try to form with the European Union is essentially to help us to be self reliant and self dependent, rather than taking some kind of little assistance from them. Partnership in trade and other areas that are vital and that are decent for Africa and Pacific Countries,” Lawan said.
