Isiguzoro, urged Atiku and Obi to stop pursuing their cases at the tribunal and support President Bola Tinubu.
The spokesperson of the socio-cultural group said both former presidential candidates should support Tinubu in the interest of nationalism and patriotism.
He said “the money that Atiku and Peter Obi are using to pursue their cases at the tribunal can be put into better use to benefit Nigerians.
“They should bring ideas to ensure that Nigerians don’t experience severe hardship.
“Our democracy message to Atiku, Peter Obi and Nigerians is that, though they have the constitutional rights to challenge Tinubu, they should withdraw their cases from the tribunal in the spirit of patriotism and nationalism.
Isiguzoro also urged Tinubu to ensure that his appointments reflect federal character, and charged the president to consider the Igbos when giving out key appointments.
