Ben Murray-Bruce, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Senator who represented Bayelsa East, has blamed his party for allowing disunity in the run up of the 2023 general election which cost them the February 25 presidential poll.

Murray-Bruce in a tweet while reacting to Thursday’s judgement of the Supreme Court advised Atiku Abubakar to accept the decision of the court and urged him to end the controversy.

This trails the affirmation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election by the apex court after dismissing the appeals filed by Atiku and candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

The former lawmaker urged Nigerians to accept the ruling of the court which he said had settled all controversial issues and the matter of who won the 2023 Presidential election.

He said; “The Supreme Court has now ruled on the appeal brought by my party and its Presidential candidate. I do not comment on the rightness or wrongness of the judgment, except to say that as a law-abiding and patriotic citizen of Nigeria, it is accepted that the Supreme Court is final.

“Therefore, the judgment should be accepted by all Nigerians as settling all the issues of contention and the matter of who won the Presidential election held on February 25, 2023. Therefore, I call on the Peoples Democratic Party and its Presidential candidate, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, to accept the judgment and let this controversy end.

“I congratulate President Bola Tinubu and the people of Nigeria, who now have clarity for the future. Perhaps we can now focus on the task of building our nation and growing our economy to enable it to deliver a decent living and opportunities for positive human development for all Nigerians, especially the masses.

“To the Peoples Democratic Party, let us learn from the disunity that cost us this election. If a united opposition could not defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2019, we showed an extreme lack of judgment to have allowed division within our ranks in 2022-2023. Hopefully, we can make better decisions for the future.

“May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the statement added.
