They issued the statement hours after Odinga met the President where they agreed to reconcile to unite the country.
After their meeting, the former Prime Minister stated they had resolved to end animosity before Kenya sinks.
"We refuse to allow our diversity to kill our nation. We have travelled so far; we cannot make it to our destination without bridging the gap.
"We have to come together and solve the animosity that we have been pouring into the boat before we all sink. We shall not fail. If we stand firm, we shall not fail," he stated.
In his address, the President assured Kenyans of a new political beginning following his meeting with Raila - he noted they had an opportunity to discuss matters affecting Kenya extensively.
"All we want is a common understanding that Kenya is greater than any one individual. Leaders must come together to discuss their differences and what ails the country, like ethnic divisions," he stated.
