By Richard Elesho

The Kogi governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka has urged the presidential Candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party’s counterpart, Peter Obi, to join President Bola Tinubu in moving the country forward.

Ajaka said this while congratulating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the affirmation of his election by the Supreme Court on Thursday.

The governorship candidate, in his congratulatory message, said the apex court has indeed validated the mandate given to President Tinubu in its unanimous verdict, which dismissed all the issues raised against his victory at the presidential election.

“The mandate freely given to you by Nigerians has been affirmed and validated by the highest court in the land today. Congratulations, Your Excellency,” Ajaka said in the message circulated by his spokesman, Mr Faruk Adejoh-Audu.

“I equally commend the two leading runner-up candidates for enriching our democracy and jurisprudence. They are indeed democrats, but they should accept the reality that all avenue for redress had been exhausted.

“As patriots and statesmen, they must now rise above the discord of the elections to support Mr. President in rescuing our country from its present dire.”
