Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has urged the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to concede defeat.
Bello advised the aspirants not to pursue further legal action challenging the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal's verdict upholding the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 election. Governor Bello said there is no ground for an appeal and that it would be better for Atiku and Obi to accept the tribunal's judgment and support President Tinubu's administration. Channels TV reports that he also mentioned that Nigerians, both within the country and in the diaspora, as well as members of the APC, are reportedly happy with the tribunal's verdict.“I think it is time to settle down and face governance. And I would advise all those that feel aggrieved [that] we have only one country, Nigeria; we must all come together and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ensure that we fix this country. “Whatever the hardship we are facing today is the effect of the past. Definitely, we have Mr Fix-It, who is here already trying to best, travelling across the world to ensure that Nigeria is fixed.”
