Message To Non-supporters
In a message to Nigerians, Mr Tinubu says he is seeking a better country not just for himself and his supporters but for all.
According to him, the political affiliations of the citizens do not matter, as everyone deserves a better country.

He says the days of political gamesmanship are long gone.
Instead, he promises to “assemble competent men and women and young people from across Nigeria to build a safer, more prosperous and just Nigeria.
“There shall be young people. Women shall be prominent.
“Whether your faith leads you to pray in a church or mosque will not determine your place in government. Character and competence will.”
