A legal luminary in Akwa Ibom
State, Barr Akan Mary-Udo, has said that the emergence of Asíwájú Bola Ahmed
Tinubu as President-elect at the just-concluded election despite the
pre-election challenges was an indication that God wanted to do something new
for Nigeria through him.
Mary-Udo also berated critics of
the just 2023 general elections, saying that the election might not have been
the best, but that it would not certainly pass as the worst election ever
conducted.
Speaking while addressing newsmen
in his chambers in Ikot-Ekpene Local Government Area on Wednesday, Mary-Udo
said that the introduction of a cashless policy and fuel scarcity experienced
during the election period were ‘booby traps’ laid against him even by his
party.
While describing Tinubu’s victory as a miracle, Mary-Udo said, “Tinubu succeeding to become Nigeria’s president was a miracle. Why am I saying so? I am a politician and an active one at that. I know the booby traps that were laid for him even from his party. Sadly, so, but out of these he came out successfully.
“I believe Tinubu is someone God has appointed
at this time to lead Nigeria. I believe sincerely, irrespective of anyone’s
political idiosyncrasies or opinion, that there is something God wants Senator
Ahmed Tinubu to do for Nigeria, so let’s give him a chance.”
Mary-Udo who drummed support for
Senator Godswill Akpabio’s Senate Presidency, however, berated critics of the
just concluded election, saying that the election might not have been the best,
but that it would not certainly pass as the worst election ever conducted.
According to him, “Many people
have criticised the last election and I ask: is it the election that sitting
governors lost in their bid to go to the Senate? An election that sitting
governors could not succeed isn’t that a good measure of a credible election?
“I know that many criticised the
election because results were not transmitted to IReV but we must look beyond
this. So, to me, the election may not be the best, it wasn’t the worst.”
