( and so must learn how to resolve our differences without jeopardizing our relationship and the party.
The President furthermore appreciated the progressive Governors forum for heeding to his advice and suggestions in settling the leadership dispute, while also calling on all politicians and the electorate to abide by the new electoral act,”
“To promote the process of election, and enhance transparency, and fill in existing gaps and add value to Nigeria’s democracy to thrive.”
