Tinubu's supporters urge Atiku, Obi to partner with president
According to Ogenyi, Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President and Mr Obi, a former governor, should be quick to give appropriate advice devoid of politics and self-aggrandisement.
He urged them to continue reigning on their supporters to embrace peace and tranquillity.
He said:
"We wish to reiterate and call on all those who participated in the last Presidential election to join the new Nigeria of our dream, an egalitarian Nation where peace and justice shall reign.
"We specifically single out the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, not to abandon Nigeria.
"It is our opinion that they should stay back and contribute meaningfully to the project Nigeria."
