The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje has asked Presidential Candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi to wait till 2031 to realise their presidential ambition.
Ganduje, who was reacting to the Supreme Court verdict affirming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s electoral victory, said the decision would now pave the way for Tinubu to concentrate on implementing the Renewed Hope mandate of the APC for the benefit of Nigerians.
In a statement signed Thursday in Abuja by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje said President Tinubu’s victory at the Supreme Court was another victory for democratic rule in the country.
The chairman noted that the Supreme court judgement has laid to rest all claims by the opposition political parties that the votes at the presidential poll were manipulated in favour of President Tinubu.
Ganduje, therefore, urged Atiku and Obi to bury their hatchets and join hands with President Bola Tinubu to reposition the country.
He said: “Nigeria belongs to all of us, it is our responsibility as patriots to pool our resources together to move the country forward. I congratulate both Atiku and Obi for their dogged fight in extending the frontiers of our democracy and law.
“This is democracy. Tinubu’s victory is another victory for democratic rule in the country. There is still room for both Obi and Atiku to actualise their presidential aspiration after the second term tenure of President Tinubu in 2031.”
Ganduje called on Nigerians irrespective of political leaning to rally round the President to ensure that he delivers more dividends of democracy and move the country on the path of sustainable progress.
