The African Union (AU) has called on Nigerian politicians aggrieved by the outcome of the February 25, 2023 presidential and National Assembly elections to seek redress in the court of competent jurisdiction while urging Nigerians to uphold peace and the rule of law.
The AU made the call in a statement issued on Friday by its Chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat, while congratulating Nigerians for demonstrating resilience in their commitment to democratic values by casting their votes for the leaders of their choice.
Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the early hours of Wednesday March 1, 2023 declared Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election and also issued him a certificate of return later in the day.
