Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has called on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the last election, Peter Obi, to support President Bola Tinubu in the task of tackling the development challenges confronting the nation.
According to a Monday statement by Ibrahim Addra, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Sule threw the challenge when Obi paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House, Lafia.
He said that Sule told his guest that there is time for politics and time for governance, urging Obi to tap into his wealth of experience and expertise to support the Tinubu administration in the task of building a secure and prosperous country.
“I want to also call on you Sir to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The country’s challenges cannot be resolved by one person only. We all have roles to play” Governor Sule said.
He thanked Obi for his efforts at cushioning the effect of the economic hardship on the people just like President Tinubu and all state governors are currently doing to ease the hardship.
He added that the president means well for the country and called on Nigerians to support him toward 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.
He lauded Sule for constructing new roads in the state, adding that the move had given the state a new look.
“I am not desperate to be president of this country, but I am desperate to see Nigeria work for the good of all.
“I always commend people when they do well, because politics to me is not about being negative every time.
