Bauchi State-based political leader and prominent Bola Ahmed Tinubu loyalist, Khamis Musa Darazo, has called on Nigeria’s respected elder statesmen to support President Tinubu’s efforts to foster national peace and stability.
In a statement released to journalists in Bauchi, Darazo specifically appealed to Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Yakubu Gowon, and Abdulsalami Abubakar to lend their experience and influence to the President’s peace-building agenda.
Describing these figures as “Guardians of Nigeria’s history, unity, and statecraft,” Darazo highlighted their critical role in guiding the nation through periods of uncertainty.
“At this defining moment in our nation’s journey, I call on TY Danjuma, Obasanjo, IBB, Gowon, and Abdulsalami Abubakar to join hands with President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Their wisdom and counsel are essential to ensuring lasting peace across Nigeria,” Darazo said.
He noted that under the Renewed Hope Agenda, President Tinubu has prioritized security and peace-building, but stressed that sustainable stability requires a united leadership that combines the experience of past leaders with the current administration’s vision.
“Each of these elder statesmen has played a pivotal role in preserving Nigeria’s unity at different times. Their collective voice carries moral authority and will strengthen public confidence in the government’s security initiatives,” he added.
Darazo said that peace is a shared responsibility, achievable only through collaboration, reconciliation, and a common national purpose. He urged leaders—past and present, to rise above political, regional, and personal differences for the good of the country.
“Nigeria needs every hand on deck. Supporting President Tinubu’s peace agenda is supporting the nation. If our elders stand together, Nigeria will stand stronger,” he concluded.
