Wike said that Tinubu has what it takes to lift Nigeria from its present challenges.
“Elections have come and gone, the winner has emerged and, therefore, it is necessary for all Nigerians to rally around to give him (Tinubu) the necessary support for the interest of Nigeria.
“People can’t wait till May 29 to see that the president is inaugurated and from there kicks the ground rolling to make sure that Nigerians get what they expect.
“I am confident he (Tinubu) has what it takes to turn Nigeria around. I have that confidence.”
Makinde equally pledged his full support for the former Lagos State governor.
“I came here to pay homage to the president-elect and let him know that elections are over. This is governance and we will do our best to give him support for the good governance of Nigeria,” he stated.
Wike, Makinde, and three other governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stayed away from the party’s preparations for the February 25 presidential election to press home their demand for the removal of the erstwhile national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu.
