State Organising Secretary of APC in Adamawa State, Alhaji Ahmed Lawal, has advised the candidate of the PDP in the 2019 presidential election, Abubakar Atiku, to accept the verdict of the apex court in good faith and decamp to APC to support President Muhammadu Buhari in developing Nigeria.
Lawal gave the advice on Wednesday while reacting to the Supreme Court judgment that unanimously dismissed petition filed by Atiku and the PDP.
The APC chieftain noted that Atiku had nursed an ambition to govern the country with a good development plan, but had been defeated by Buhari in the last election.

Lawal also appealed to President Buhari to accept “Atiku and his Co travellers” into the APC fold to allow them to contribute their good ideas for the growth and development of Nigeria.
“We in Adamawa are advising Atiku to return to his home APC which he helped to attain it’s status today.
“We all agreed that he desired to develop the country which Buhari is also doing very well.
“He should join hands with Buhari to change the fortunes of the entity called Nigeria.
“And we are also congratulating President Buhari for his victory at the Supreme Court.
“We advise the president to leave his door open for Atiku and other members of the APC family who sojourned to other political parties and accommodate and integrate them to settle and contribute to national development,” he suggested.
