Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Fetus Keyamo, has said following the Supreme Court’s judgement on the 2023 Presidential election, the opposition’s journey in challenging the elections outcome has come to a “grinding” end.
Keyamo said this lately on his X account @fkeyamo while celebrating the victory of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall, the Labour Party (LP), its Presidential Candidate Peter Obi, and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), its Presidential Candidate Atiku Abubakar, have been challenging the outcome of the 2023 general election that led to the emergence of Tinubu as President. As the Supreme Court gives its verdict, all cases are rested.
Keyamo said, “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.
“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.
“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.” He noted.
