“We express our deepest appreciation and profound gratitude to the renowned artist and National Convener, Malam Ali Jita, for his exceptional courage, unwavering commitment, and steadfast belief in our collective quest to birth a New Nigeria,” Abbas said.

According to the statement, Abbas said the entertainer’s support had inspired many Nigerians, especially young people, to believe that positive change was possible.

He added, “Together, with faith in God Almighty and the collective determination of Nigerians, we shall build a nation where justice prevails, opportunities abound, and every citizen can live with dignity, peace, and hope.”
