“It is no news that well-meaning Nigerians all over the world and the international community at large are applauding and giving our dear president ovations for his giant strides thus far, his decisiveness in tackling and containing serious national issues, and the transformational reforms and socio-economic policies and initiatives he has brought to the table in less than 30 days in office.
“These bold steps are gradually resulting in accelerated relief and reassurance of hope in the President’s RENEWED HOPE AGENDA for not just Nigerians but the entire African continent.
“As stakeholders in the Nigerian project, we have deemed it imperative to use this medium to call on all selfless, well- meaning Nigerians and patriots across party lines every where around the globe to shield their swords and embrace this apparently transformational government of national unity and all-inclusiveness.
“We resolved to say unequivocally loud and clear, here and now that the victory in the last presidential election is a victory for all Nigerians regardless of their political affiliation and alignment, religion or tribe, it is indeed a victory for Africa, the entire black race and of course victory for the entire world and humanity at large; it was a no victor no vanquish election.

“Even though we are aware that it is the fundamental right of all aggrieved candidates to seek for a redress in the court of law, in national interest we wish to us this avenue to crave the indulgence of all aggrieved candidates who are seeking for redress in the tribunal to withdraw their litigations against the president and join hands with him in the proposed national unity and all inclusive government.
“We are saying this confidently because we can see from all indications that the Tinubu led administration is ready to work assiduously to install peace, development and progress in Nigeria.
“We are certain that the priority of all candidates of other political parties is to do same selflessly in national Interest since Tinubu is playing out their intentions they could and should go a step further to synergize with him to achieve the same patriotic purpose in national interest.
“For this is the only way to prove to the world that indeed, their struggles are not personal and selfish, but rather in national interest and quest to restore the dignity of man in our domain through initiation and implementation of people friendly policies and programmes.
The coalition also called on all elder-statesmen from across the length and breadth of Nigeria to swiftly without further delays invite all aggrieved parties to a round table meeting and appeal to them not to subvert the will of the people through distractions but to join hands with the government that was willingly elected by Nigerians to change their story through unprecedented development for the betterment of all and Sundry.
