The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) Renewal Group has advised opposition parties agitating against the declaration of Sen. Bola Tinubu as president-elect to perish the thought of upturning his victory.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti, the group described Tinubu’s emergence as president-elect as the best that had ever happened to Nigeria in recent times.
Its National Leader, Prof. Atilade Adeeyo described the action of Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to upturn Tinubu’s victory through the tribunal as an exercise in futility.
He said efforts by the two runners-up at the presidential election of Feb. 25, Mr Peter Obi of the LP and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, challenging Tinubu’s victory would not yield any positive result.
He advised the duo to accept defeat honourably so the country could move forward.
Adeeyo described Tinubu as a strategic and patriotic leader whose strong political structure spread across the six geo-political zones of the country.
He said Tinubu won the elections partly because “he is a beautiful bride that all Nigerians love.
“President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu has an impressive track record as a great, patriotic leader.
“He displayed this uncommon leadership trait when he served as the governor of Lagos State.
