APC accepts Supreme Court judgements on governorship elections

The All Progressives Congress  says it has accepted the Supreme Court decisions on election petitions challenging the outcome of the 2023 governorship elections in six states.

Mr Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, while reacting to the development in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said “in every contest, you win some and lose some”.

Morka said the APC as a party would continue to submit to the dictates of the rule of law.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the apex court affirmed APC’s gubernatorial mandates in Gombe, Ogun, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Kebbi states. The court, however, decided in favour of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta.

“In every contest, you win some and lose some, but we must all continue to submit to the dictates of the rule of law and constitutional order.

“We congratulate the winners, particularly our Governors, Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Uba Sani (Kaduna) and Nasir Idris (Kebbi),” he said.

The APC spokesman therefore, urged all the party’s members to remain calm and peaceful.
