According to the Minister, all disagreements should not fester past the politicking season.
He said this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
Fashola, who headed the Election Planning Directorate of the Tinubu-Shettima campaign explained that the party trained 2,000 agents from all the states and sent back to the states to train the agents in their respective states.
“Some of the young people came from the United States to campaign for Tinubu”, he said, maintaining that the party already knew the outcome of the polls even before INEC announcement.
Speaking further, Fashola explained that Nigerians are inseparable beyond religion and ethnicity and should “wear the trousers of adults” and maturity after the polls.
He said, “I think that we are too joined at the hip to allow disagreements over elections fester beyond elections. There are too many places where we are connected.
“I tell people, for example, that if you are talking ethnic issues, my first cousin is Lois Ganiu Okafor and I have another cousin, Fola Okeke, God bless her soul. So, which one of them do I dislike?
