Senator Bent Urges Atiku, Obi to Accept Election Results 

Senator Grace Bent has appealed to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party counterpart, Mr Peter Obi, to accept their defeat in the February 25 presidential election in good faith.

Bent, who represented Adamawa South at the National Assembly, stated this in a statement on Saturday in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

She congratulated the President-elect Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, for a well deserved victory.

“Engaging in a legal tussle on the widely adjudged most credible election will amount to only unnecessary distraction to hold down the process of leadership to thrive.

“The presidential election results were a true reflection of Nigerians’ honest votes; you don’t need to waste your time and resources.

“Going to court will lead them in an exercise of futility with no positive impact in the judiciary and democratic systems.

“I believe in the duo style of leadership. The ticket will unite us more than the thinking of many who are selfish to look at it from the religious point of view.

“I wish them good tenure in office. I know in their ticket Nigerians will smile again,” she said.
