Addressing journalists after the visit, Soludo said: “These caps were produced even from the time the president visited Anambra State and you saw all the billboards and stuff proclaiming that Progressives are working together.

“Subsequently, it’s a fundamental idea that I believe very strongly and all the political parties who profess progressivism should actually come on together in a massive coalition to deepen not only the process of our democracy but also of our economic and socio-development of our country.

“For me, when I say progressives working together is a call for all those who come on board.

“Talk about Tinubu, I have no apologies about it, President Tinubu is my friend and has been my friend for 22 years now and counting. So you don’t deny a friend, I support him.

“I’m impressed by the bold steps he has taken particularly in the area of the economy, the structural reforms and I have said so severally. We are taking the right steps, we only need to stay the course.”
