The group also urged its members to remain committed to democratic values and the progress of the APC, while encouraging wider consultations among stakeholders to foster understanding and prevent unnecessary conflict.
It said the 2027 elections should be approached as an opportunity to consolidate political unity, strengthen grassroots participation and promote peaceful coexistence among the people.
