“Accept defeat, don’t waste your time” — Senator Bent urges Peter Obi, Atiku

Senator Grace Bent urges former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his Labour Party counterpart, Mr Peter Obi to accept the results of the presidential election held on February 25th with grace and dignity.

The Senator who previously represented Adamawa South at the National Assembly issued the statement on Saturday, 4th March in Yola. She extended congratulations to the declared winners, Senator Bola Tinubu and his running mate Sen. Kashim Shettima, for their victory.

Bent stated that it would be a waste of resources and time for Peter Obi and Atiku to pursue a legal case.

Bent’s Statement to Atiku and Peter Obi

“Engaging in a legal tussle on the widely adjudged most credible election will amount to only unnecessary distraction to hold down the process of leadership to thrive.

“The presidential election results were a true reflection of Nigerians honest votes , you don’t need to waste your time and resources.

“Going to court will lead them in exercise in futility with no positive impact in the judiciary and democratic systems.

“I believe in the duo style of leadership, the ticket will unite us more than the thinking of many who are selfish to look at it from the religious point of view,” she said.

“I wish them good tenure in office, I know in their ticket Nigerians will smile again,” Bent added.
