Buhari Should Keep His Electoral Promises, Says Ubani | Nairalaw

A legal practitioner, Monday Ubani, has asked the
president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari to fulfil his electoral promises
to Nigerians.

He also called on those aggrieved by the outcome of the
elections to go to court.

He stated this on Thursday when he made an appearance on
Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, a day after the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Buhari the winner of
the 2019 presidential election.

“Now that the elections have been lost and won, those who want
to go to court should go to court. Then the person who has won
should now continue to ensure that Nigeria moves in accordance with
his promises to Nigeria,” he said.

Ubani, who is a former ex-Vice President of the Nigerian Bar
Association (NBA) also commended the masses for coming out in large
numbers to vote.

He also commended Atiku for appealing to his supporters to
embrace peace, stressing that it was crucial for the survival of
Nigeria.

“I think the key two actors – the President himself and Atiku
Abubakar have appealed to his followers to maintain peace and that
to me is critical.

“The President in his acceptance speech extended his hands of
fellowship to his opponents, let’s move Nigeria forward. Now we
need to really accentuate these statements of these leaders,” he
added.

President Buhari polled a total of 15,191,847 to defeat his
closest rival and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate,
Atiku, who polled 11,262,978.
