Election Victory: Islamic Cleric, Bello Asks Nigerians To Stop Congratulating Tinubu

An Islamic cleric and educational, Mustapha Bello, has implored the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, not to get carried away by the euphoria of election victory and focus on the job of governance that lays ahead.

The cleric triggered mixed reactions when he asked Nigerians to stop congratulating Tinubu but rather set agenda for him.

Bello, a lecturer, Department of Religions and Peace Studies, Lagos State University (LASU), made the remarks at the 9th Ramadan Lecture of Anwar-Ul Islam College, Agege, Old Students’ Association (ACAOSA), on Saturday in Lagos.

“It is not enough for us to be congratulating them. Sen Bola Tinubu has emerged President-elect, and he will be inaugurated, we must set agenda for him.

“Stop doing congratulatory messages now, let us set agenda on education, environment, public morality.

“Look around, there is so much indiscipline in the society. We must also pray for them,” he said.
