Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has called on Mr Peter Obi, to support President Bola Tinubu to succeed.
Sule made the call when Obi visited him on Monday in Lafia.
The governor, who said that elections were over, maintained that the president needs the support of all Nigerians to move the nation forward.
“I know you have the experience, competence and capacity to support the president in the overall interest of the country. The president is your friend and colleague, we were all in Lagos at some point, as such you need to contribute your quota to the development of the country.
“You can contribute your quota quietly because the President needs all the necessary support in order to bring the country back on track,” Sule said.
He said that the president alone cannot address the current challenges confronting the nation, adding that well-meaning citizens like Obi should support him.
He added that the president means well for the country and called on Nigerians to support him in addressing insecurity, economic hardship, and other challenges confronting the country.
Sule, however, lauded Obi for drilling boreholes in some communities in the state, adding that the gesture had complemented government’s efforts toward alleviating the sufferings of the people.
Earlier, Peter Obi said that the visit was part of his nationwide tour to offer support to Nigerians during Ramadan.
