Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has knocked supporters of Peter Obi, flagbearer of Labour Party, seeking the nullification of President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25, 2023 election.

This is coming after the Supreme Court dismissed the appeals of Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In its ruling on Thursday, the seven-member panel held that the issues canvassed by Obi were the same as that of Atiku’s thus and there was no need for a repeat.

It therefore affirmed the ruling of the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal that upheld the victory of Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the election.

Reacting, Keyamo, in a post via X said by the judgement, “Their journey has come to a grinding end.”

DailyTrust reports that referred to as ‘Obidients’, Obi’s supporters had so many issues with Keyamo before, during and after the polls.

Although, the minister didn’t specify Obidients, but it was clear he referred to them

He said: “By the judgment of the Supreme Court today, the laymen prowling all over the social media can now clearly see that there is a wide chasm between emotions and law. These were Election Petitions pursued with unnecessary venom and hatred by most of those involved. Today, they have learnt a bitter lesson that such venom, hatred and sentiment have no place in judicial proceedings and deliberations. Their journey has come to a grinding end.

“We had consistently made the same points to the opposition, but they kept giving their supporters false hopes and goading them in the wrong direction. Unfortunately for them, all the vituperations poured out against the judiciary actually cut no ice with it. Our Justices are always firm, courageous and cerebral. Kudos to them.

“What is now left is nation-building. The other Presidential candidates must now call President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and congratulate him as true patriots. We as patriotic citizens must also now close ranks to help steer our country in the right direction. I wish all of us well.”
