“We invite all to remember and take care of the less-privileged among us.”
Urging Nigerians to remain peaceful, the party added; “With the successful conclusion of the 2023 General Elections, and as the country gears up for transition from the President Muhammadu Buhari government to the incoming administration of President-Elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we urge all well-meaning Nigerians to remain peaceful and patriotic with renewed hope for a more just, secure, peaceful, equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
“We pray the Almighty Allah answers our prayers and enkindles in us the spirit of sacrifice, humility, mercy and kindness.”
