The Elders commended President Buhari for signing the Electoral Act describing it as a presidential oxygen of relief that will usher greater integrity to the democracy and participatory vigour to the citizens.
Dr Bature also emphasized that synergy between the National Assembly and the executive has proven that dialogues is far greater tool for accomplishment and progress than ego and arrogance.

“Infact, that is at the very core of the Patriotic Elders message that “when dialogue meets disagreement on the table of negotiation, humility and sincerity brings wisdom that makes results inevitable.”
“Nigerians in their overwhelming numbers are persuaded that they are far better together in peace with more of this convergence of sacrifices for unity and justice, than selfish manipulatios for anarchy by a few who refused to bring their grievances to the table of discussion for national unity,” he said.
