The national coordinator of the coalition, Dr Lilian Ogbole, said the only way for Atiku and Obi to prove to the world that indeed, their struggles are not personal and selfish but instead in the national interest is to join hands with Tinubu to move Nigeria forward.

Dr Ogbole said various entities and international organisations had lauded Tinubu's start to the presidency for his performance and positive strides since he resumed.

“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.”

She, however, acknowledged that it is within the rights of the duo (Atiku, Obi) to file a petition

The coalition noted that it was certain that the priority of all candidates of other political parties was to do the same selflessly in national interest since Tinubu was playing out their intentions they could and should go a step further to synergize with him to achieve the same patriotic purpose in the national interest.
