An elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, on Monday urged those who lost in the just-concluded presidential and National Assembly elections to approach the court to challenge the results rather than embark on a silent protest.
Â
Yakasai, during a chat with The PUNCH, counselled political parties and politicians to conduct the forthcoming governorship and state assembly elections peacefully, like the presidential poll.
Â
Furthermore, he urged aggrieved politicians against taking taking the law into their own hands but seek redress in a competent court of jurisdiction.
Â
He commended the manner in which the Independent National Electoral Commission conducted the just- concluded presidential and National Assembly elections, urging them to use the conduct of the governorship poll to address the challenges encountered in the previous polls.
Â
He expressed hope that the election would be peaceful but advised both voters and politicians to conduct themselves equally in a peaceful manner.
