The president-elect, Bola Tinubu, has been urged by the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) to fulfill his duties in a morally upright manner after taking office.
Salisu Shehu, the council’s deputy secretary general, issued a statement in which the NSCIA congratulated Mr. Tinubu on his victory in the presidential election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission proclaimed Mr. Tinubu the victor of the 2023 presidential election with 8,794,726 votes in front of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labor Party, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Mr Shehu said the council was not surprised by the outcome of the election taking into consideration Mr Tinubu’s “track records in public service, decades of hard work, selflessness, sacrifice, unflagging commitment and dedication to the Nigerian project….”
The council called on Mr Tinubu to ensure he implements measures to fast-track the development of the country.
“We urge you, upon assumption of office, to put in place policies and measures that would lead to the large-scale transformation of our country’s economy, security, social infrastructure, and human capital development,” he said.
“In addition, Your Excellency, you are a very experienced human and financial resources manager, a hunter of talents and an enabler of men and women. You are sui generis among your peers in the encouragement that you constantly give to the Nigerian youths to offer their best in the service of our country.
“Consequently, the Council is confident that you would bring to bear your wealth of experience in assembling an all-inclusive team of experts in the administration of our country in a way that would foster unity and peace as well as engender sustainable development that we all crave. Justice is considered as the hallmark of leadership and a non-negotiable requirement of Islam.
