Ben Nwoye, former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, has urged opposition parties to bring their noble intentions and ideas on board to make for a prosperous Nigeria.

“With the Supreme Court putting an end to all presidential electoral matters, it is time we join hands together to move the nation forward by working with President Bola Tinubu’s transformation agenda.

“I call on our brothers – Mr Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of LP and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of PDP – to bring their noble ideas on board the Renewed Hope Agenda project to create prosperity for our people,” Mr Nwoye said.

The APC chieftain made the call while speaking in an interview on Thursday in Enugu shortly after the Supreme Court delivered the presidential election judgement in Abuja.

Congratulating Mr Tinubu, Mr Nwoye said, “the court has cleared the way for the president to sit down and reposition the country with his well-thought out policies and programmes he wants to achieve through his Renewed Hope Agenda.”

The chairman said that the ruling APC had desired to transform the country and make it a better place for all to live, prosper and be happy.

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) had earlier reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 18 Presidential Election as announced by INEC.

However, not satisfied with the judgment, both Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the LP and Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of PDP, took the case a step higher to the Supreme Court.
