Chief Stanley Osifo, a former presidential aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised President Bola Tinubu to do more to enhance the living and working standards of Nigerians.
Chief Osifo gave the advice as he congratulated President Tinubu on his victory at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Wednesday.
Osifo, in a congratulatory statement on Friday in Lagos, urged opposition parties and candidates to join hands with the President in rescuing Nigeria.
He said the court had affirmed that Tinubu was fit, qualified to contest and won the Feb. 25, Presidential election.
“I congratulate Nigerians at home and abroad as well for the victory and for supporting Nigeria’s thriving democratic process,” Osifo said.
The young politician said that Tinubu had been magnanimous in calling on all Nigerians including his challengers- Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of PDP and Mr Peter Obi of Labour Party, to get on board in building the Nigerian project.
Osifo said: “I want to call again on candidates that lost in the elections and PEPT cases to join hands with President Bola Tinubu in moving Nigeria to greater heights.
“Everyone cannot be President at the same time. What must be done and should occupy the minds of every Nigerian is how to make meaningful contributions to tackle the various challenges that Nigerians face on a daily basis.
“Everyone must take decisions of the Tribunal in good faith and not disturb or create tendencies that will distort peaceful, harmonious living and development among the polity.”
He urged the President to continue to build bonds of affinity and good leadership that would make Nigeria greater.
“I am hopeful. I encourage the President to work more at enhancing the living and working standards of Nigerians,” he said.
The tribunal which sat on Wednesday in Abuja, upheld the victory of Tinubu in the Feb. 25 Presidential Election.
The tribunal dismissed petitions by the Allied People Movement (APM) Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against Tinubu’s electoral victory.
However, both Abubakar and Obi, Presidential candidates of PDP and Obi respectively have vowed to appeal the Tribunal’s verdict at the Supreme Court.
