TribunaI: I Was Surprised That I Didn't See The Labour Party Leaders In The Court- Nyesom Wike
During an interview with Channels TV, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, expressed his surprise at the absence of the leaders of the Labour Party during the judgment of the election tribunal matter. Wike specifically noted the absence of the Presidential Candidate and the Vice Presidential candidate from the court proceedings.
Wike suggested that leaders of political parties, especially those contesting presidential elections, would actively participate in legal processes like election tribunals. He seemed puzzled by their absence, given the history of election-related legal challenges in the country.
The Minister of the FCT urged the opposition, including the Labour Party, to concede defeat and support the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Wike noted that in past elections, legal challenges have been a common occurrence, and it is essential for political parties to accept the outcomes and work together for the betterment of the nation. Nyesom Wike expressed his surprise at the absence of Labour Party leaders, including the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, during the judgment of an election tribunal. He called for a spirit of cooperation and urged the opposition to accept the election results and collaborate with the President to achieve the nation’s goals.

Hear him: ”Is there any time that we have held an election in this country? Particularly the Presidential election that people have not gone to Court. I was surprised when I watched the television yesterday, I didn’t see the leaders of the party, what happened? But he has been attending tribunal every time. I’m surprised that I didn’t see the leaders of the Labour Party in court. The Presidential candidate and the Vice Presidential candidate needs to be in Court. The same thing in the PDP. In a serious country, they should all join hands now with the President to achieve the renewed hope.”
