Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, Calls on Atiku and Obi to Accept Election Verdict

By  Milcah   Tanimu

In response to the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal’s recent ruling upholding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 election, Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has urged Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to forgo any appeals and accept defeat.

Both Atiku and Obi have expressed their intentions to challenge the tribunal’s judgment.

Speaking to reporters in Abuja, Governor Bello suggested that Atiku and Obi should move forward and support President Tinubu’s administration instead of pursuing further legal action.

“I don’t think there’s any ground for appeal as far as I’m concerned,” Bello stated, adding that they should “save the resources, save the trouble, advise their supporters, admonish them that we should accept the judgment. No flaw.”

Bello emphasized that Nigerians, both at home and abroad, are pleased with the tribunal’s verdict, and he called for unity and support for President Tinubu’s leadership.

“It is time to settle down and face governance,” he urged, highlighting the need to come together to address the challenges facing Nigeria. He acknowledged that the country’s current hardships are the result of past actions but noted that President Tinubu is making efforts to improve the situation through international engagements.

Governor Bello’s comments reflect his belief that pursuing further legal action may not be in the best interest of the nation and that it’s time for all stakeholders to work together for the betterment of Nigeria.
