Sir Peter Obi (L) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
Opposition presidential candidates were on Saturday called to withdraw their litigations over the February 25, 2023 presidential elections. Mohammed Kailani, a stalwart of the All Peoples Congress (APC), made this call during a media chat in Laguna, explaining that the withdrawal of the litigations would make way for national unity and development.
The presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Sir Peter Obi, it will be recalled, headed to the courts to challenge the victory of Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC candidate.
However, Kailani, National Coordinator, Voter Education and Awareness of the APC, has urged them to discontinue their litigation process, and place national interests above personal interests.
Said he: “If they [Atiku and Obi] really love Nigeria, they should withdraw their cases from the court.
“Their efforts would only become efforts in futility and would not be beneficial to us as a nation.
“Thankfully, the president-elect [Tinubu] had promised to run a unifying government, a government of national unity that would give everyone a sense of belonging’’.
