Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi, has asked Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to accept the judgment of the presidential election petitions tribunal.
On Wednesday, the tribunal upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 poll.
The tribunal ruled that the petitions filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Obi, candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were “all devoid of merit”.
Bello spoke with reporters on Thursday after a meeting with Vice-President Kashim Shettima at the State House, Abuja.

“Nigerians are happy and the truth is out there. We appreciate all that happened yesterday,” the Kogi governor said.
“The truth has been exposed. Imagine the justices sitting down for almost 14 hours to deliver that landmark judgement yesterday.
“Nigerians within the country and in the diaspora are happy and I think it is time to settle down and face governance.

“And I advise all those that feel aggrieved, we have only one country, Nigeria. They should all come together and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ensure that we fix this country.
“Whatever hardship we are facing today is the effects of the past. Definitely, we have Mr. Fix It who is trying his best travelling around the world to ensure that Nigeria is fixed. So we are happy the matter is settled.”
