Margif said withdrawing the petition at the Presidential Election Petition Court will help ease the wound caused by Muhammadu Buhari’s administration

He said:

“I call on both Obi and Abubakar to sheath their swords by withdrawing their cases at the tribunal for the sake of national unity and integration.
“This will ease the burdens and wounds caused by the outgone administration and enable Tinubu to sail the ship called the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Promised Land.
“In my opinion, Tinubu is the will of God and we must accept it because while I, for instance, voted for Obi, some voted for Abubakar, others voted for Tinubu but the outcome of the election favoured Tinubu.”
