The euphoria that greeted President Tinubu’s Supreme Court victory in the petition filed against him by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi, the candidates of PDP and Labour Party in the February 25, 2023, presidential election, continued with individuals and groups admonishing aggrieved parties to bury the hatchet and work for the nation’s progress.
Leading the charge was former President Goodluck Jonathan, who reminded Nigerians that elections were over and it was time for the nation to move forward.
Former President Jonathan, who spoke after a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, called on political leaders, especially former Presidents, to come together to ensure that citizens do not suffer.
He also asserted that the ability of Nigeria to lead the African continent has become a consensus among African countries.
In apparent corroboration of Jonathan’s stance, a former Senator representing Bayelsa East in the National Assembly, Ben Murray Bruce, urged both Alhaji Atiku and Mr. Obi to put their differences with the President aside and congratulate him over his election as Nigeria’s President.
