“My prayer is that God will grant our leaders and the party’s structure the wisdom to come together and define a new path for our beloved country.”
Rhodes-Vivour also called for unity among opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general election, saying: “This is a coalition that is meant to rescue Nigeria.
“I have said since after the 2023 elections that we cannot afford to divide the opposition going into the next election. We must come together, united through a robust coalition that will stand a chance in 2027 to deliver this country.”
