Recall that the Supreme Court on Thursday, October 26, 2023, upheld Tinubu's electoral victory at the February 25 election.
The apex court affirmed the tribunal's decision, which dismissed the petitions by Atiku and Obi challenging Tinubu's victory.
Reacting to the development, Oba Akiolu said politicians should be more focused on the welfare of the people.
“Many things are happening to our country. Politicians don’t fight, they will settle later. All of them should come together and move Nigeria forward,” the Oba said.
Atiku, Obi should checkmate Tinubu's government
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, reacted to the Supreme Court judgement, which upheld the verdict of the PEPT that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the winner of the 2023 election.
Effiong said he hopes that the National Assembly will further amend the electoral act to clarify the position of the law, especially as regards the issue of electronic transmission of results.
Speaking to Atiku and Obi, Effiong said both men needed to start the work of the opposition by checkmating the administration of President Tinubu.
