Abubakar in a statement
issued on Thursday in Abuja also congratulated the PDP.
The former Vice President,
Atiku Abubakar has congratulated the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) Sen. Douye Diri and his running mate, Mr Lawrence Ewhrujakpor over the
Supreme Court judgement on the Bayelsa governorship election.
“The Lords Justices have
given us another opportunity to show Nigerians that power belongs to the
people, and we must make good use of this opportunity,” he said.
Abubakar said that he
received the verdict of the court, declaring the candidate of the PDP, Diri, as
the duly elected governor of the state, with gladness.
“Diri had cause to visit me
before the elections and received my blessings and counsel.
“I am fully satisfied that
he has what it takes to make Bayelsa the ‘glory of all lands. His intellect,
personality and character, are a credit to Bayelsa and the PDP,” he said.
Abubakar called on all the
people of Bayelsa to make peace with the recent past, and embrace the future
together, united in the mission to transform the state into a haven of peace
and prosperity.
“Finally, I urge the
supreme court to show consistency in its judgments and find the resolve to
always deliver just judgments no matter whose ox is gored.
“The people of Nigeria are
behind the apex court in whatever they do to free themselves from the dominance
of dictatorial forces,” he added.
