2023: Stop Repeating Tinubu’s Angry Words – Buhari’s Aide Pleads With APC Members

Lauretta Onochie, a presidential aide to Muhammadu Buhari, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop repeating angry words uttered by the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Onochie insisted that repeating those words Tinubu said in the heat of the moment would keep the wound fresh, adding that the national leader of the APC had started reaching out to those who contested the ticket against him because Buhari told him to be magnanimous in victory.

She urged party loyalists to put the days of division behind them and form a united front ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Her words: “When President Buhari said the aspirant who wins the presidential candidacy of APC must be magnanimous in victory, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu took him seriously and reached out to those who ran with him in the Presidential Primary race. He reached out to them.

“We, too must act as adults if we are going to win everyone back. It’s not right to keep repeating those words said in anger by our leader, Asiwaju. This is because many of our people are still hurting. It’s childish on our part, to keep throwing those words around and keeping the wounds still fresh.

“Let’s move on from those days when the camp was balkanised along lines of different aspirants. We need EVERYONE OF OUR PEOPLE TO COME ON BOARD. Some are reluctant because we are still throwing those words in their faces, constantly.

“Like our leader, Asiwaju himself has done, reaching out to those he defeated, let’s be magnanimous in victory by reaching out in a matured way to everyone we know.

“That’s what I’ve been doing, anyway. The result has been amazing. Together, we will win.”
