President Muhammadu
Buhari has asked governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to focus on
fulfilling their campaign promises to the people of their states.
He gave the charge in a
statement on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr
Garba Shehu.
The President
congratulated the governors on their Supreme Court victories, after what he
called “your patient legal battles to defend your mandates.”
“I am pleased and proud
that you have successfully concluded your legal battles, and now is the time to
concentrate fully on fulfilling your campaign promises after the distractions
caused by the litigations,” he said.
President Buhari was
happy that one of the great things about democracy was that it gives the
aggrieved avenues for redress through the courts.
He, therefore, commended
the governors for using the opportunity to defend their mandates following the
March 9 polls.
The President advised
the governors not to see their challengers as enemies, saying they were only
exercising their democratic rights by going to the courts to seek redress.
He also reminded the APC
governors that there are still challenges ahead and asked them to brace up.
“With the legal battle
now over, it is my hope that you won’t rest on your oars,” he said.
President Buhari added,
“You should work ever harder to deliver good governance in the next remaining
four years of your tenure.
“I wish you God’s
guidance, more wisdom and good health in the performance of your exalted
responsibilities.” (Channels TV)
