The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has urged the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and that of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to concede defeat and save themselves the resources and “trouble” of approaching the Supreme Court.
According to Channels Television, Both candidates have since announced their decisions to challenge Wednesday’s judgement of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal upholding the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 vote.
On Thursday, Bello told State House Correspondents in Abuja that Atiku and Obi are better off moving on and supporting Tinubu’s administration.
“As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think there’s any grounds for appeal,” the governor stated.
“I would rather appeal to them to drop any appeal to the higher court and save the resources, save the trouble, advise their supporters, admonish them that we should accept yesterday’s decision.” There isn’t a flaw.” According to Bello, Nigerians in the country and abroad, as well as APC members, are pleased with the verdict.
“I believe it is time to settle down and confront governance.” And I would tell all those who are dissatisfied [that] we only have one country, Nigeria; we must all join together and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in order to fix this country,” he stated.
“Whatever hardship we are experiencing today is a result of the past.” Certainly, we have Mr Fix-It, who is already here doing his best, travelling around the world to guarantee that Nigeria is fixed.”
