“In doing our politics, we are going to disagree on issues, but we would give no bitterness. We will compete on ideas; we will see ourselves as children of Nigeria and leaders of Nigeria. We are brothers, even if we disagree on issues we don’t disagree in persons, and our followers and supporters will know that they, too, are brothers and sisters, that election will be over and Nigeria will continue”, he said.
