Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), the February 25 presidential election campaign group for Bola Tinubu has extended the proverbial Olive branch to the supporters of the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi following Supreme Court judgment that declared President Tinubu winner of the election.
The DOJ advised that since the presidential election related litigations were over, the national discuss should border on progressive actions and good governance by all Nigerians.
A statement by the National Coordinator of DOJ, Comrade Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, however, congratulated Mr. President, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Federal Government and every stakeholder in the affairs of the country.
“It is time to sheath the swords and put Nigeria first. This is our country. We have no other one. It is time to come together and think on how to rescue this great country irrespective of the supporters groups you belong.
“It goes without saying that DOJ happens to be one of the leading support groups for President Tinubu. However, we are all one with support groups of the opposition. Let us stop working within the ambit of religion and ethnicity differences. Let’s embrace one another for sustainable progress.
“Tinubu’s victory is a Nigerian victory. No victor, no vanquished. Nigeria wins. All support groups should stop taking one another as enemies.
“It is time for Mr President, the major opposition figures; Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Labour Party presidential candidate; Gregory Peter Obi, to congratulate one another and forge ahead for a progressive Nigeria.
“We congratulates Mr. President, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, all other executives as well as every other citizens of Nigeria at this remarkable moment in our history.
“Now that the presidential election- related litigations are over, our national discuss should border on progressive actions and good governance.
“It is time for Mr. President to open a door for all progressive Nigerians irrespective of political party, ethnic groups and religions.
“There is no progressive friends without fight and there is no fight without an end. No one can survive alone. Whether you are a Christian , Muslim or Pagan; Tinubu needs nothing from you other than support.
“He has fully taken the driver’s seat and we are all inside as his passengers. Let us forget the past and uproot whatever animosity in our minds. Let Nigeria and Nigerians breathe. Enough is enough.
“Political differences has led us to normalise all abnormalities. It is time to forgive one another and move forward as a single rescue team.
“This very generation and the incoming generation need our togetherness to herald a great nation for them to meet and be proud of.
“We should collectively forgive ourselves and see the entire nation as a single family – our home, that can comfortably accommodate all of us”. The statement said.
END.
