Accept defeat in good faith, Agbakoba tells Atiku
Popular lawyer Olisa Agbakoba has urged presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in last Saturday’s election, Atiku Abubakar to accept his defeat in good faith.
In a paper titled ‘2019 Presidential Election: Ethnic Consideration vs Governance Consideration’ on Wednesday, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria said: “I understand the PDP is aggrieved at the outcome of the election and alleged massive irregularities.“He might have moved backwards by his loss but he should not lose sight of the legacy and greatness that lie in front of him.
He said: “I can see how tempting it is to take the option of the Election Petition Tribunal. But that, in my view, is not the right decision.
