The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Sunday, in Abuja, urged opposition parties to accept the verdict of the court even as the election tribunal hearing begins on Tuesday, May 30.
But Atiku, Obi and some other parties rejected the results announced by INEC and had approached the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to annul Tinubu’s victory.
The PUNCH reported that the tribunal began pre-hearing on Monday, May 8 and, only last Tuesday, slated the hearings proper for May 30. Buhari saluted the “doggedness and resilience” of all the Presidential Candidates and their political parties for believing in our judicial system by taking their grievances with the election results to the court.
He said “In the course of the campaigns, we had argued and disagreed on how to make Nigeria better but we never disagreed or had any doubts that Nigeria has to be better. “As your President, I call on all of us to bring to bear the strength of our individualism, the power of our unity, the convictions of our beliefs to make Nigeria work better and together with one spirit and one purpose.”All rights reserved.
