Femi Gbajabiamila the Chief of Staff to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has requested that the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi should put aside their personal intents and support the Supreme Court’s declarations as we all endeavour to rule Nigeria together.
After months of legal battles, the Supreme Court had declared Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 election.
The led panel of the Supreme Court Justice John Okoro has found Obi and Atiku’s appeals against Tinubu unneeded hence, it was rejected.
Other justices in the court are Abubakar Tijjani, Uwani Aji, Ibrahim Saulawa, Adamu Jauro, Emmanuel Agim and Mohammed Garba.
According to the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, the legal fight is just a diversion. He also mentioned that Tinubu will give a hands-on fellowship to Atiku and Obi.
He stated, “The litigation is a distraction. The litigants exercise their rights to go to court. But that has come to an end now. We now have to all come together as one country or one people and move ahead to take this country where it rightfully should be.”
He added, “We shouldn’t take things personally. If you listened carefully to the judgment, the judgment was very sound by any objective and supported with facts, with cases.
“The president is a democrat, he has always extended his hands of fellowship. He’s always done that he will continue to do that, and will continue to do so on his behalf. Governance is about everybody. It’s not about a party. It’s not about an individual. If we do not come together now. then we’ll have ourselves to blame.
“The elections are over. Litigation is over. All litigation has come to an end. Now’s the time for governments; distractions are over. So yes, Mr. President, the APC and all right-thinking members of society must come together no matter what party you belong to, to address the issue of governance.”
According to him, the court’s judgment is very sound and all parties should accept and work with the judgment.
