The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday 19 January 2024 welcomed the Supreme Court verdicts on six governorship petitions across six states where it won five out of six cases.
In a statement in Abuja, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Barr Felix Morka, said the party was not deterred knowing that it must not win all in every contest and called on all Nigerians irrespective of party affiliation to remain calm.
Morka wrote: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) welcomes today’s Supreme Court decisions in election petitions challenging the outcome of 2023 governorship elections in six states.
“The apex court affirmed APC’s gubernatorial mandates in Gombe, Ogun, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Kebbi states. In Delta State, the court decided in favour of the opposition.
“In every contest, you win some and lose some but we must all continue to submit to the dictates of the rule of law and constitutional order.
“We congratulate the winners, particularly our Governors, Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Uba Sani (Kaduna) and Nasir Idris (Kebbi).
“We urge all to remain calm and peaceful.”
