A legal luminary in Akwa Ibom State, Barr Akan Mary-Udo, has said that the emergence of Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President-elect at
“I believe Tinubu is someone God has appointed at this time to lead Nigeria. I believe sincerely, irrespective of anyone’s political idiosyncrasies or opinion, that there is something God wants Senator Ahmed Tinubu to do for Nigeria, so let’s give him a chance.”
Mary-Udo who drummed support for Senator Godswill Akpabio’s Senate Presidency, however, berated critics of the just concluded election, saying that the election might not have been the best, but that it would not certainly pass as the worst election ever conducted. According to him, “Many people have criticised the last election and I ask: is it the election that sitting governors lost in their bid to go to the Senate? An election that sitting governors could not succeed isn’t that a good measure of a credible election?
“I know that many criticised the election because results were not transmitted to IReV but we must look beyond this. So, to me, the election may not be the best, it wasn’t the worst.”All rights reserved.
