Speaking on the reelection of governor Akeredolu and his reconciliation moves, the national leader said that the governor had shown that he wanted genuine reconciliation among party members in the state.

“Indeed, the governor cannot push forward nor can the state advance if there is division or dissension among us”, he said.

“Unity and adherence to collective purpose are hallmarks of progressive politics. Our ability to place the public welfare above our personal ambitions is what differentiates us from the political “regressive” who would rather that the general welfare suffer so they can fulfil their personal whims and wishes.

“As progressives, we must carefully tend to our bridge of unity. We must never allow it to break. We entered politics and governance to serve the people and this purpose should always bind us in ceaseless fraternity and togetherness”, he said.

Tinubu concluded by saying that “All true progressives must work towards this fertile unity and sustain that unity. With it, we can achieve the great things we see for this state and this nation. We can build a progressive society for ourselves and our children.”
