Tolu Bankole, who holds the position of National Leader of People with Disabilities within the All Progressives Congress, has congratulated the newly elected President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, on their victory in the recent presidential election. Despite facing numerous challenges, Bankole commended Tinubu and Shettima for overcoming the obstacles and prevailing in the election.
Just a week prior, Bankole had expressed concern for the safety of physically challenged individuals during the election and appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission to make necessary provisions. However, in his congratulatory message titled “It’s a Renewed Hope of Inclusivity,” he expressed his satisfaction that the election results reflected the mandate of the masses, particularly persons with disabilities.
Bankole also called on supporters of opposition parties to set aside their differences and work together to support the incoming administration for the greater good of the country. He believes that inclusivity and unity are key to moving the nation forward.
“The outcome of the polls is both epochal and revealing of the people’s mandate. The good people of Nigeria were unanimous and loud in choosing the candidate of our party across the board. I congratulate all Nigerians for trusting our party the All Progressives Congress, APC, with presidential leadership again. I want to assure Nigerians and Persons With Disabilities that this will be a renewed hope of inclusivity unparalleled in our country. Mr Bankole noted
“Your unalloyed trust and resilience is appreciated. And according to the action plan of the President-elect, all efforts will be geared towards shared prosperity in all spheres. Now that a winner has emerged from the keenly contested presidential election, I urge all citizens to join hands with the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his quest to bring renewed and inclusive hope for all Nigerians, irrespective of political parties, ethnicity, or religious difference.
“I appeal to Nigeria electorates to vote massively for APC gubernatorial candidates and State House of Assembly Candidates in the March 11 elections. This is the only way to strengthen the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima.”
