He however advised Nigerians to embrace the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with hope and faith in God.
In his congratulatory message to Tinubu, Nkire who described the president as a patriot and an achiever who keeps his words and promises, said he was sure the new president would make Nigeria one hundred percent better than Buhari left it.
He recalled his experience and encounters with the now President in 2014 when he joined Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to prevail on Tinubu to support Kwankwaso for President, a request to which Tinubu answered, each time: “ I am sorry, I have already given my word to Buhari.”
