The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has pleaded with Nigerians to accept the outcome of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
Recall the tribunal, on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 dismissed cases brought before it by Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Peter Obi (Labour Party) and upheld the election of President Bola Tinubu (APC)
Kaduna State chairman of CAN, Reverend John Hayab, urged Nigerians to allow the rule of law prevail in the overall peace and unity of Nigeria.
“We should, as Nigerians, respect the judicial system for the interest of peace and harmonious coexistence of the country,” Hayab began.
Pleading further: “Nigerians must not allow themselves to be used to divide the country, based on political differences, but unite and work with the person the court rules in his favour to lead the affairs of the land for development to thrive in Nigeria.
“Politicians come and go but the country remains. Therefore, we must think inward and not allow some selfish individuals to put the country into confusion that could lead to chaos that can result in loss of lives and destruction of property, which could set the country backward, instead of consolidating Nigeria’s progress.”
