The Supreme Court recently dismissed cases brought against President Bola Tinubu’s election by Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Peter Obi (Labour Party).
This verdict led to mixed reactions on social media, with some prominent Nigerians, including rights activist Aisha Yesufu, publicly stating that Tinubu was not their president.
In response to the diverse opinions, Ben Murray-Bruce took to Twitter on Thursday to emphasize that President Tinubu is the leader of all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliations.

He stated, “As long as you call yourself a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you do not have ‘your’ President. Nigeria has a President, and whether you like it or not, he presides over you as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and Head of the State.
Furthermore, Murray-Bruce urged Atiku to congratulate President Tinubu, highlighting the need for unity within the PDP as they prepare for the 2027 elections. He emphasized the importance of ending litigation and called statements like “Bola Tinubu is not my President” frivolous and unhelpful.
