Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development has urged Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to call and cangratulate President Bola Tinubu.
Atiku and Obi are from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) respectively.
Keyamo advised that nation-building should be at the front burner, urging citizens to close ranks in helping steer the country in the right direction.
He said: “By the judgment of the Supreme Court today, the laymen prowling all over social media can now clearly see that there is a wide chasm between emotions and law.
“These were Election Petitions pursued with unnecessary venom and hatred by most of those involved.
“Today, they have learnt a bitter lesson that such venom, hatred and sentiment have no place in judicial proceedings and deliberations. Their journey has come to a grinding end.
“We had consistently made the same points to the opposition, but they kept giving their supporters false hopes and goading them in the wrong direction.
“Unfortunately for them, all the vituperations poured out against the judiciary actually cut no ice with it. Our Justices are always firm, courageous, and cerebral. Kudos to them.
“What is now left is nation-building. The other Presidential candidates must now call President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and congratulate him as true patriots. We as patriotic citizens must also now close ranks to help steer our country in the right direction. I wish all of us well.”
