Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, the presidential candidates for the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Labour Party (LP), respectively, have been urged to withdraw their petitions from the Presidential Election court to allow for a seamless transition for the APC federal government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This legal action by the two opposition candidates is, according to the Association for Political Stability in the North-East (APS), a decades-old political ploy designed to impede the process of democratic governance.
This recommendation came from Haruna Garba, the Association’s North-East Zonal Coordinator, during a conference held in Bauchi after the 2023 elections to discuss their results and discuss next steps.
For the sake of the country’s future political stability, growth, development, and prosperity under the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government, Garba urged the petitioners at the presidential election court to withdraw their complaints.
