Gowon wants Nigerians to accept tribunal's verdict on presidential election

He made the appeal while speaking at the 15th edition of the PUNUKA Annual Lecture and symposium in honour of a one-time Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Chike Idigbe, in Abuja on Thursday, May 4, 2023.

The former military Head of State also urged aggrieved politicians to allow the courts to do their work without interference, adding that the sanctity of the court must be respected by all the stakeholders.

Gowon’s words: As we move forward as a nation, let us not forget the role that the Judiciary plays in nation-building, especially the apex court, in carrying out its duty of questioning the veracity of the decisions of the lower court.
