Former President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta gave the admonition yesterday in his keynote address at the Inauguration lecture organised by the Presidential Transition Council, (PTC), in Abuja.
Speaking on the theme: “Deepening democracy for integration and development”, Kenyatta summed up the leadership crisis in Africa to negative ethnicism, religious intolerance and economic greed.
Kenyatta, who noted that while elections may divide the people, leadership must bring them together. He encouraged Tinubu to surround himself with voices that challenge his own, and reach out to those who may feel aggrieved in order to build a stronger nation together.
In closing his over 45-minute-long presentation, Kenyatta said: “The contest is now over, and the hard work of building a prosperous and unified Nigeria now begins”.
