Festus Keyamo has said that other Presidential candidates in the 2023 Presidential election must now call President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and congratulate him as true patriots.
He said this while reacting to today’s ruling by the Supreme Court dismissing the petitions filed by PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi against the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 Presidential election.
Posting via his X handle, Keyamo wrote;
‘’By the judgment of the Supreme Court today, the laymen prowling all over the social media can now clearly see that there is a wide chasm between emotions and law. These were Election Petitions pursued with unnecessary venom and hatred by most of those involved. Today, they have learnt a bitter lesson that such venom, hatred and sentiment have no place in judicial proceedings and deliberations. Their journey has come to a grinding end.
We had consistently made the same points to the opposition, but they kept giving their supporters false hopes and goading them in the wrong direction. Unfortunately for them, all the vituperations poured out against the judiciary actually cut no ice with it. Our Justices are always firm, courageous and cerebral. Kudos to them.
What is now left is nation-building. The other Presidential candidates must now call President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and congratulate him as true patriots. We as patriotic citizens must also now close ranks to help steer our country in the right direction. I wish all of us well.”
