The presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the Supreme Court to be consistent in its judgement.
He said this while reacting to the Supreme Court’s declaration of Douye Diri as the govenor-elect of Bayelsa State.He made his position known in a series of tweets on Thursday.Earlier, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, had said no one would be sworn in in the state on Friday.
“I call on all the people of Bayelsa to make peace with the recent past and embrace the future together, united in the mission to transform the state into a haven of peace and prosperity. “The people of Nigeria are behind the apex court in whatever they do to free themselves from the dominance of dictatorial forces.”
A five-man panel of the apex court, led by Justice Mary Peter-Odili, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to the All Progressives Congress’ candidates who had been declared winners of the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state.
