Election: Those Not Satisfy With The Election Outcome Can Seek Redress In Court – Buhari

Those who are unhappy with the results of the elections in 2023 have the right, according to President Muhammadu Buhari, to seek redress in court.

In his Easter speech, the President made this point and added that he expected anyone who felt wronged to wait patiently while the judicial system took its course.

Since receiving his first mandate in 2015 and having it renewed in 2019, he said it has been a rare privilege for him to lead Nigeria.

In the statement, President Buhari stated, “I join Christians in Nigeria and throughout the world in celebrating Easter, which remembers Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection and signifies his triumph over death.

“At the heart of Easter, is the triumph of light over darkness.

“It is a season that reminds us that the Almighty can turn an unpleasant situation round for good.

“Recognising that Easter is about renewed hope and a glorious future, I urge all Nigerians to continue to be confident and believe strongly in our country for better seasons ahead.

“As a nation, we have gone through an election that has produced the next set of leaders at the federal and State levels.

“I commend Nigerians for believing in the process. While I congratulate those that have been elected, I acknowledge that it is the right of those who feel dissatisfied with the outcome to seek redress. I expect them to wait patiently and allow our legal system run its course.

“It has been a rare privilege for me to serve as your President since you gave me the first mandate in 2015 and renewed it in 2019.

“Day after day, I have been guided by the vows I took to keep Nigeria united, prosperous and secure.

“Our successes on security, economy, infrastructure, new oil frontier basins, landmark legal reforms as well as food sufficiency, among others, were possible because of the support of Nigerians.

“As we celebrate this season with our families, neighbors and communities, let us do so in love, compassion, kindness, resilience and forgiveness.”
