Bola Tinubu has called for a probe of the disruption that characterised the Adamawa State governorship election and charged his party’s candidate, Senator Aishatu Binani to go to court if she felt aggrieved by the process.
Tinubu made the assertion in a statement he issued on Wednesday. According to the president-elect, the conclusion of the supplementary of the election brings to an end the 2023 election round and with it, the preparation for governance for the new set of elected leaders.
I congratulate the winners of the Supplementary Governorship elections held in Kebbi and Adamawa States on Saturday, April 15, 2023. I also rejoice with those elected into the Senate, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly during the last round of elections in states where such took place. These victorious men and women have earned the trust of their people and I call on them to rededicate themselves to the service of their respective constituents.
The supplementary polls have now brought the 2023 elections to a final, fitting conclusion. I observed, with satisfaction, the largely peaceful atmosphere that pervaded the supplementary election on Saturday. It was a further testimony that our citizens have accepted democratic norms and have unalloyed faith in the electoral process.
However, I note the matter of Adamawa Supplementary Governorship Election and I urge police authorities to fully investigate all that transpired in the election given the attendant controversy. In every democratic contest there has to be one winner. I call on those aggrieved to pursue legitimate means of addressing their grievances.
With the conclusion of the 2023 elections, I now welcome all of us who have been elected to brace up to serve our people with diligence and dedication and to join hands with me as your President-elect in the pursuit of our agenda to renew the hopes of our people in a better, stronger, more secure, economically vibrant and prosperous Nigeria.
Newsmen reports that the non-partisan position taken by Tinubu is bound to disconcert the Binani camp in Adamawa State.
