Easter: “Wait patiently and allow our legal system run its course”- Buhari Tells Aggrieved Parties
President Muhammadu Buhari has asked aggrieved parties who feel dissatisfied with the outcome of the 2023 elections to wait patiently and allow the Nigerian legal system run its course.
Buhari who made this known on Friday in his Easter message addressed to Nigerian Christians also said it is okay for the aggrieved parties to seek redress in court.
He mentioned that it has been a rare privilege for him to serve as Nigeria’s President since he was given the first mandate in 2015 and renewed it in 2019.
President Buhari in the message said, “I join Christians in Nigeria and around the world to celebrate Easter, which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, signposting his victory over death.
“At the heart of Easter, is the triumph of light over darkness.
“It is a season that reminds us that the Almighty can turn an unpleasant situation round for good.
“Recognising that Easter is about renewed hope and a glorious future, I urge all Nigerians to continue to be confident and believe strongly in our country for better seasons ahead.
“As a nation, we have gone through an election that has produced the next set of leaders at the federal and State levels.
“I commend Nigerians for believing in the process. While I congratulate those that have been elected, I acknowledge that it is the right of those who feel dissatisfied with the outcome to seek redress. I expect them to wait patiently and allow our legal system run its course.
“It has been a rare privilege for me to serve as your President since you gave me the first mandate in 2015 and renewed it in 2019.
“Day after day, I have been guided by the vows I took to keep Nigeria united, prosperous, and secure.
“Our successes on security, economy, infrastructure, new oil frontier basins, landmark legal reforms as well as food sufficiency, among others, were possible because of the support of Nigerians.
“As we celebrate this season with our families, neighbors and communities, let us do so in love, compassion, kindness, resilience and forgiveness.”
