CSO Tasks Nigerians On Unity, Urges Aggrieved Politicians To Seek Redress

Transparency Advocacy for Development Initiative (TADI) has urged Nigerians to unite as one country to overcome current challenges.

TADI also urged Nigerians to work together to move the country forward after the conduct of the 2023 general elections. 

Executive director of TADI, Ambassador Yomi David, in a statement yesterday in Abuja said it was time to heal the wounds caused by the elections by working for the sustainability of the most populous black nation in the world.

“Elections have come and gone with winners and losers emerging while ligations are commencing to redress gray arrears, but the initiative opines that there are no losers and winners as the country won as a whole, hence the need to heal the wounds and work together for the progress and sustainability of the most populous black nation in the world.

“This is our fatherland and we are in it together to make it better by ensuring that our systems are functional, effective, target-driven, and result oriented,” he said.

David said while attention had shifted to the judiciary, the courts should do justice to election petitions brought to them. 

He expressed confidence in the leadership of the judiciary to dispense justice. 

It is not a gainsaying that during the electioneering process, those that lost elections have rights to seek redress at the tribunal and proceed to the higher courts if dissatisfied with the judgement, hence, the attention and focus of the world are now on the judiciary to do the needful by ensuring that no stone is left unturned while justice is served with all sense of openness and responsibility to whoever deserves it, no matter whose ox is gored.

“Consequent upon the aforementioned and with restored confidence due to recent pro-people judgement in the rejuvenated judicial system under the leadership of Justice Kayode Ariwoola, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, we are hopeful, confident, and optimistic that the judiciary will live up to its expectations of providing fair, equitable and expected judgement on the cases.

“The Initiative, therefore uses this medium to pass a vote of confidence on the leadership of the Judiciary in Nigeria with utmost belief that it will reactivate and restore the hope and prayers of the Nigerian masses in the courts as the last hope of the common man while justice and equity prevail,” he said.
