The All Progressives Congress (APC) says those questioning
the legitimacy of the victory of Bola Tinubu at the presidential election
cannot handle defeat.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP)
have filed suits at the presidential election tribunal challenging the victory
of Tinubu.
Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme,
on Tuesday, Felix Morka, APC spokesperson, said he feels sympathy for them.
“There are people in our democracy who can’t handle the fact
that they lost,” Morka said when asked why the opposition sees Tinubu’s mandate
as “illegitimate”.
“Personally, I feel some level of sympathy for them. You
contest an election and you give all you have got, you went into it, hoping to
win but you didn’t win, someone else won. The candidate of the APC won the
election. He was declared [winner] by INEC.”
Morka said there is no crisis in the APC, and that what is
being witnessed is not “unusual”.
“What we are witnessing in the party is normal, people who
contested elections and individual party members who are aggrieved by whatever
reason are human beings and the constitution of Nigeria guarantees them the
right to ventilate to canvass remedial procedures,” he said.
On where the party would zone the position of senate
president, he said the APC would soon disclose its decision.
“Our party is committed to doing fairness, doing justice and
doing equity,” Morka said.
