The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Canada has said that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, will address the issue of ethnic and religious bigotry when sworn in on May 29.

Speaking on the issue via a telephone with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday, the Chairman of APC in Canada, Omololu Apata, added that Tinubu would work towards healing the country.

Calling the President-elect a man of peace, Apata disclosed that the former Lagos governor is already working on bringing political, cultural, and religious stakeholders to rub minds on how to overcome differences.

“He is a man of peace who is already working on how to bring all political, cultural, and religious stakeholders to a round table to rub minds on how to overcome differences and pave the way for peaceful coexistence based on mutual respect and trust for one another.

“This is the panacea for the great Nigeria we have all been praying to witness in our lifetime.

He will work toward healing our country from the scourge of ethnic and religious bigotry.

“I have no doubt he would do it”, he stated.

“He has been planning for this for decades and now that he said he’s ready, I do not doubt him. Neither should Nigerians.

“Asiwaju  Tinubu is not known for tentativeness or procrastination.

“He’s already working as we speak so that he can breeze into office in May fully prepared to govern and to lead.

“There’s no denying the fact that he will  be confronted with challenges ranging from economic to political, and more but he is not unaware of these burning issues

“And I can bet he is coming prepared to tackle them comprehensively and in a timely manner.

“In a complex society such as ours, some challenges will not disappear permanently but they will be mitigated to manageable levels.

“That’s what a good leader will do”, Apata added.
