Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) United States chapter, Mr. Tai Balofin, has said that Nigerians should not be disturbed by people protesting the emergence of Bola Tinubu as President-elect in front of the White House.
Mr. Balofin, in a statement he issued, on Thursday, said the chapter had mobilised ‘true’ Nigerians to come out in support of Asiwaju Tinubu’s mandate.

He expressed optimism that those protesting against Tinubu’s emergence as the president-elect would not succeed in their mission to disrupt the peace and stability of Nigeria.
The statement read in part, “We wish to inform the public that a group of the Nigerian 2023 presidential election losers are currently protesting at the park in front of the White House.
“It is important to note that the US government is not involved or in support of the protest, as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest. It is our belief that the Nigerian presidential election was free and fair, and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu won the election.”
The statement pointed out that the majority of Nigerian voters gave the former Lagos governor their mandate, and “no propaganda, manipulation or tissue of lies” can stop his inauguration.
“We want to assure Nigerians that Nigeria will not secede, and it will remain united. We must work together to salvage it,” said Mr Balofin and urged Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful.
The APC chieftain stated that justice would prevail and the mandate the people gave Tinubu at the poll would be respected. (NAN)
