APC, but for all Nigerians and lovers of democracy around the world,” Governor Radda said.

called on “Nigerians and particularly the duo of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi and their teeming supporters not to see
the verdict as a personal loss but as their contributions to deepening
democracy in Nigeria.”

said by “coming together we can build a prosperous nation under
peace and unity.”
