A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun, Muritala Audu, has urged Nigerians to unite behind the President-elect Bola Tinubu for the growth and development of the country.

Mr Audu, in a statement on Monday in Lagos, congratulated Mr Tinubu on his victory at the Presidential election on February 25.

“I congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu and urge Nigerians to unite to secure our growth and development as a nation,” he said, urging the electorate to support Governor Dapo Abiodun’s second-term bid in Ogun.

Mr Audu described the governor as a performer “whose class towers far above other contenders in the race ahead of the March 11 2023 general election.”

The chieftain, however, urged party leaders whom the governor might have offended in the course of duty to forgive and close rank with him.

“I see victory at the end of the tunnel, come March 11, with Prince Dapo Abiodun on the ballot for Ogun,” Mr Audu said.

He added that other representatives of the state assembly, who had equally proved their mettle, should enjoy revalidation of their mandate for all benefits.
