Call us on our hotline: 0713862404 He shared his experience as a head of state for two terms, where he acknowledged the successes, failures, and opportunities of embracing democracy, articulating the importance of getting to the root causes of conflict within the continent and our African countries for the continent's development. \" I feel the three most fundamental issues that are easily weaponized to the detriment of our democratic growth. The first is negative ethnicity or tribalism, followed by religion, and lastly, eco- nomic greed,\" Kenyatta said. Kenyatta expressed his confidence that if the continent ad- dressed these issues in earnest, it would begin to harness its mineral wealth, agricultural potential, and abundant human capital to propel the people's well-being and strengthen the continent's voice in the global community of Nations. The former Head of State called on President-elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to unite all Nigerians irrespective of religion, tribe, politi- cal and other affiliations. He further urged him to embrace the inclu- sivity of all parties for a better Country. The outgoing President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E. Muhammadu Buhari, who also attended the ceremony, noted that democracy was not merely a system of governance but a way of life that requires active participation, inclusivity, and relentless pursuit of justice and fairness. \"I encourage you to surround yourself with the voices of those who will counterbalance the hardliners that feel entitled to a piece of your office. You will lose nothing and gain everything from reaching out across political, ethnic, and religious lines to those who may feel aggrieved by your victory in one way or another. Allow them to exhale and to be a part of your vision for a greater Nigeria.\" He encouraged the President-Elect. The former Head of State congratulated the people of Nigeria for holding peaceful elections, overlooking the challenges, and em- bracing the lessons from a maturing democracy. Furthermore, he commended all the contestants for expressing their political differ- ences within the provided framework of constitutional order urging them to shun divisive politics and embrace finding strength in their diversities. Other speakers who delivered their lecturers on different as- pects included; His Eminence Mohammed Sa ád Abubakar III, C.F.R. Sultan of Sokoto & Most Rev. Dr. Mathew Hassan Kukah, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, who spoke on Tolerance and Inclu- siveness, Ms. Amina Jane Mohammed, G.C.O.N., Deputy Secretary- General (Security and Development), Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, Presi- dent, African Development Bank (AfDB) who emphasized on the im- portance of strengthening the Nigerian Economy and Mr. Dayo Israel, National Youth Leader, All Progressives Congress who spoke on the importance of youth inclusiveness in governance. \" I speak to you as a brother and an elder statesman in leader- ship. The contest is now over, and the hard work of building a pros- perous and unified Nigeria begins, concluded the former President. Designed, Published and posted Online by Limpopo Holdings Ltd. P.
