A socio-political organisation, Diamond Group Nigeria (DGN) has congratulated the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Vice President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima on their victory in the just concluded presidential election.
It also urged the former Lagos State governor to strive towards uniting the country which prior to the election has been divided across ethnic and religious lines.
The message was contained in a press release signed and made available to TheNiche on Friday by the leader of the group, Archdiamond, Toyyib Musa-Omoloja.

Diamond Group also advised the incoming government to take note of the loud sentiment of the youth demographic expressed through their voting pattern in the elections.
The message read: “Diamond Group Nigeria (DGN) congratulates the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Vice President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima on their victory in the just concluded presidential election.
“No doubt, the victory which reflects the wishes of Nigerians across the country had been hard-won.
“The Group urges the President-elect to strive to unite the country which has been riven across ethnic and religious divides. Just as it advises the incoming government to take note of the loud sentiment of the youth demographic which could be discerned from their voting pattern in the elections. The youth and of course the generality of Nigerians desire a new Nigeria that all of us will be proud of.”
The Group further pleaded with other contestants to congratulate the President-elect and cooperate with him.
“The Group notes that since there was no victor and no vanquished in the presidential election, other contestants should congratulate the President-elect and cooperate with him to achieve the rebirth the country craves, while those with genuine concerns should approach the courts rather than put our democracy at risk through unguarded actions and utterances.
“Diamond Group Nigeria prays that the new Nigeria which the “Renewed Hope” mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu symbolises will usher in great blessings for Nigeria and Nigerians” Diamond Group further said.
