YCL also condemned individuals and groups who are calling for the postponement or outright cancellation of the swearing-in of the president-elect.
“No one can pretend that this is the first general election that will produce a result which would be contested before an election tribunal. Were the declared winners of those elections not sworn in while the legal battles over the results of the elections were going on?
On the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi State, the group said the Kogi West Senatorial district with a large number of Yoruba should be given the opportunity to produce the governor of the state. “There is a need for Yoruba in Kogi to agree to rally around a single candidate out of the three that are in the race if the struggle is to yield any fruitful result.”
