A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Senator from Bayelsa, Ben Murray-Bruce has advised the defeated presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi, to congratulate President Bola Tinubu.

Murray-Bruce said there must be an end to litigation adding that trending claims by some persons in the country saying ‘Bola Tinubu is not my President’ is unhelpful.

Writing through his X handle on Friday, Murray-Bruce said, “All talk by some persons that ‘Bola Tinubu is not my President’ is frivolous and unhelpful.

As long as you call yourself a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you do not have ‘your’ President. Nigeria has a President, and whether you like it or not, he presides over you as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and Head of the State.”

NPO Reported on Thursday that Murray Bruce asked Atiku to end all forms of litigations.

This was shortly after the Supreme Court ruled that Tinubu was validly elected, dismissing the appeals of both Atiku and Obi.

“The Peoples Democratic Party must now play their role as Nigeria’s most viable opposition party. It is incumbent on them to work on unifying their ranks,” he said lamenting what he called disunity and treachery against President Goodluck Jonathan which he said cost the party its victory in the 2015 election.

“Disunity also cost them this election. If they allow it to repeat itself a third time, they are done.

To the youths of Nigeria, do not allow anybody, whether candidate, party, or TV station, to set you against the government.

The future is yours, as Millennials, not ours, the fifties and sixties generation. Use it well. Organise now for 2027, or agonise when it is 2027.”
