Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has urged Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi not to appeal the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) affirming President Bola Tinubu’s victory, saying they would only end up wasting their resources.
Mr Bello stated this in an interview with State House correspondents on Thursday in Abuja.
The PEPC had on Wednesday, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the petitions of Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that of Mr Obi of the Labour Party (LP).
Atiku already rejected the outcome of the tribunal and instructed his lawyers to proceed with the appeal at the Supreme Court.
Equally, the Labour Party and the lawyers of Mr Obi’s lawyer also kicked against the judgement, hinting that they will appeal it.
“As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think there is any ground for appeal. I will rather appeal to them that they should drop any appeal going to the higher court and then save the resources, save the trouble, advise their supporters, and admonish them that they should accept yesterday’s judgement. No flaw. I thank God for all that happened yesterday,”
“I advise all those that feel aggrieved, we have only one country, Nigeria. They should all come together and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ensure that we fix this country. Whatever hardship we are facing today is the effects of the past,” he said. (Premium Times)
