According to Fayemi, the rise of one political party in a democracy does not always mean that others are losing; rather, it may be considered as an opportunity to collaborate for the benefit of the entire nation.
He stressed that in order to minimize any distractions the appellants should support the President in the task of leading Nigeria. “All hands must be on deck at this moment,” He advised.
“As we move forward, it is essential that we prioritize the development, security, and prosperity of Nigeria above all else. I urge the President to use his victory as an opportunity to heal the divisions in our country and to build a more prosperous and inclusive Nigeria for all,’’ he added.
