Ade Omole, Director of Diaspora, All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has urged opposition politicians to support Bola Tinubu as Nigeria's next president.

Mr Omole urged the opposition to follow in the footsteps of world leaders who had congratulated Mr Tinubu on his election as Nigeria's president-elect.

He claimed that the allegations of electoral fraud surrounding the presidential election on February 25 were insufficient to cast doubt on the entire process.

Mr. Omole advised opposition party members to lay down their swords and let peace reign.

He also mentioned that world leaders had begun congratulating Mr Tinubu after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him the winner of the contentious election.

Mr. Omole listed some of the world's leaders, including those of the United States via Ned Price (U.S State Department).

Other world leaders who congratulated Mr Tinubu, he said, included France President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Zelensky, and Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo, among others.

He went on to say that the President of the Republic of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, and the Commission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) had also congratulated Mr Tinubu on his election as Nigeria's president-elect.

He added that former South African President Thabo Mbeki, who heads the Commonwealth Observer Mission in Nigeria, had also congratulated Mr Tinubu.

As a result, Mr Omole advised members of the opposition, particularly their presidential candidates, to follow suit and congratulate Mr Tinubu.

He said Nigerians in the diaspora were part of the success story and that they would continue to work to protect Mr Tinubu's mandate as he prepares to be sworn in as the country's next president on May 29.
