Christians of Northern Nigerian origin, under the auspices of Northern Christian Youth Professionals, (NCYP), have felicitated with the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr celebration, asking him not to compromise merit in appointments of cabinet members.
The groups, in their Eid-el-Fitr message to the President-elect, said Nigerians voted him because of his legacy as Lagos State governor, where he provided good governance to all the people of the State through assemblage a good team.
According to the NCYP Chairman, Isaac Abrak: “Tinubu’s presidency is coming at a time when the Nigerian people have been stretched by economic and security hardships to the highest limit. As such, the country cannot afford to be stretched beyond its elasticity limit. Thus, only a team with the character of selfless service and spirit of patriotism like that of Tinubu’s days in the Lagos government can hit the ground running.
“As we celebrate with Tinubu, we remind him not to compromise on this standard as he chooses his kitchen cabinet, advisers, and other government principals. This standard is what Nigerians voted for in him, and they do not expect anything less but even better”.
“The NCYP recognises that Tinubu’s presidency is coming at a time when the Nigerian people have been stretched by economic and security hardships to the highest limit. As such, the country cannot afford to be stretched beyond its elasticity limit. Thus, only a team with the character of selfless service and spirit of patriotism like that of Tinubu’s days in the Lagos government can hit the ground running, improving the living conditions of all Nigerians, uniting the country, and setting it on the path of transforming into the great nation envisioned by our founding fathers.
“The NCYP also wishes all Muslims a happy Eid-el-Fitr celebration and enjoins all Nigerians to pray for the President Elect and also for a smooth and peaceful transition of Government on May 29th”, the groups stated.
