This was contained in a statement issued by Ganduje’s senior special assistant on public enlightenment, Chief Oliver Okpala, on Sunday, January 28.

The statement partially reads:

“This is the first time the Chairman of a ruling political party in the country has exhibited such maturity, taking such an approach and calling for a united front. It is a call to avoid bitterness and rancour, it is a call for politicians to work together as Nigerians and to see each other as brothers and sisters.

It added:

“It is a call from a government in power at the centre that has never seen the people in the opposition as conquered but as potential comrades in joining a movement for the task of liberating the nation from the stranglehold of long-standing degradation which the current APC administration is tackling.”
